Prognostic Nutritional Index as a Potential Biomarker for the Risk of Lower Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis: A Large Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has recently been identified as a novel marker of nutritional status. However, existing evidences on the association between PNI and the risk of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LEDVT) are limited and conflicting.

Objective

To determine the association between PNI and the risk of LEDVT, and further evaluate its diagnostic value.

Methods

Over a 10-year period (2012-2022), a total of 12790 patients who underwent compression ultrasonography examinations were consecutively included, and 1519 (11.9%) LEDVT events occurred. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate its diagnostic performance.
