Prevalence and prognostic significance of malnutrition in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Malnutrition is associated with poor prognosis in cardiovascular disease patients or in diabetic patients. However, the relationship between malnutrition and clinical outcomes in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is not well known. The aim of this study is to report the prevalence and prognostic consequences of malnutrition in diabetic patients with CAD.

Methods

In this retrospective observational study, the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score applied to 12,898 consecutive diabetic patients with CAD. The association between malnutrition and long-term all-cause mortality was examined using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.

Results

According to CONUT score, 60.5% patients suffered from malnutrition; 46.4%, 13.2%, and 0.
