Systemic inflammatory markers as a supplement to nutrition risk screening of ICU patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Critical illness often leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction requiring intensive care. This catabolic condition significantly affects nutrition, causing muscle loss, weakness, and an in-creased risk of malnutrition, which complicates recovery. Traditional nutritional assessment tools often face limitations in critically ill patients. Systemic inflammation may improve the accuracy of nutritional risk screening.

Methods and study design

Data from the MIMIC-IV database were analyzed. The study aimed to assess the prognostic value of inflammatory markers combined with the mNUTRIC score. Survival analyses were conducted using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models to evaluate the association between these markers and patient mortality at 30-
