Undernutrition Scored Using the CONUT Score with Hypoglycemic Status in ICU-Admitted Elderly Patients with Sepsis Shows Increased ICU Mortality.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to clarify whether the influence of undernutrition status and the degree of glycemic disorders affected the prognosis of patients with sepsis. A total of 307 adult patients with sepsis were retrospectively enrolled and analyzed. Characteristics, including nutrition status, calculated according to the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score of survivors and non-survivors, were examined. The independent prognostic factors of these patients with sepsis were extracted using multivariable logistic regression analysis. The CONUT scores in three glycemic categories were compared. Most patients with sepsis (94.8%) in the study had an undernutrition status according to their CONUT scores. High CONUT scores (odds ratio, 1.214; p = 0.002), indicating a poor nutritional st
