Effect of Preoperative Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index on Prognosis in Patients after Surgery for Lower Gastrointestinal Perforation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a reliable index derived from serum albumin levels, height, and weight. Although various prognostic factors have been studied, the effect of preoperative nutritional status on surgical outcomes remains unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the GNRI in predicting postoperative outcomes of lower gastrointestinal perforation.

Methods

Eighty patients treated at our institution between January 2016 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. This study primarily focused on the correlation between preoperative GNRI and two key outcomes: postoperative hospital stay duration and 1-year mortality rate.

Results

Our findings revealed a significant association between low GNRI scores and increased 1-y
