Nutritional Status According to the GLIM Criteria in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure: Association with Prognosis

ABSTRACT: Background: The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria were recently proposed to build a global consensus on the diagnostic criteria for malnutrition.
