Association of malnutrition risk evaluated by the geriatric nutritional risk index with post-stroke myocardial injury among older patients with first‑ever ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-stroke myocardial injury is a potentially preventable complication after acute ischemic stroke. Therefore, identifying modifiable variables, such as nutritional status, is crucial for reducing the risk of post-stroke myocardial injury. This study aimed to investigate the association between malnutrition risk on admission, as evaluated by the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and post-stroke myocardial injury in elderly patients with first‑ever ischemic stroke.

Methods

We conducted this study using the GNRI score to evaluate the nutritional status of older patients with first‑ever ischemic stroke. The primary outcome of interest was post-stroke myocardial injury. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was executed to assess the dose-effect relationship between t
