Risk of Pre-Stroke Malnutrition Predicts Mortality in Ischaemic Stroke Patients Undergoing Thrombectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Malnutrition is common in older adults but poorly studied in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). This study assesses the prevalence of malnutrition risk at Stroke Unit admission, related clinical factors, and its impact on EVT outcomes, functional status and 90-day mortality.

Methods

Retrospective single-centre study on consecutive EVT-treated AIS patients (2021-2024). Malnutrition risk was assessed using the GNRI ([1.489 × serum albumin g/L] + [41.7 × current/ideal body weight]). For the primary analyses, patients with GNRI ≤ 98 were classified as at risk of malnutrition (RoM+); secondary analyses further stratified moderate-to-severe risk (GNRI < 92). Logistic regression was used to identify factors associ
