Prognostic Significance of Malnutrition and Physical Function in Patients With Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Malnutrition and impaired physical function are common comorbidities of heart failure (HF). We investigated the relationship between malnutrition and physical function, factors associated with these values, and their prognostic impact on clinical outcomes.

Methods and results

We retrospectively analyzed 151 patients with HF to determine the correlation between the nutritional index, assessed using the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, and physical function, assessed using the short physical performance battery (SPPB). We analyzed the prognostic role of nutrition and physical function for the composite endpoints of death or HF hospitalization. The median CONUT and SPPB scores were 3 (1, 4) and 11 (8, 12), respectively. These scores showed a significant
