Sex differences in the association between nutritional status and in-hospital mortality in HFpEF patients.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The study aimed to assess whether the effect of nutritional risk score (NRS-2002) on the odds of in-hospital mortality would be modulated by sex and body mass index (BMI) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Methods and results

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 234 patients admitted with acute heart failure, in whom HFpEF was identified as the underlying diagnosis, during the period 08.2018-08.2020. Nutritional status was assessed using BMI and NRS2002. NRS-2002 is a validated screening tool recommended by ESPEN that evaluates nutritional risk based on recent weight loss, reduced dietary intake, severity of illness and age. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations between these nutritional indices and
