Nutritional risk index predicts survival in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Among patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), prognosis is impacted by nutritional status, but the influence of the nutritional risk index (NRI) is unknown. Here we calculated the NRI to determine the prevalence and prognostic impact in terms of mortality of malnutrition i...

Description
Summary:Among patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), prognosis is impacted by nutritional status, but the influence of the nutritional risk index (NRI) is unknown. Here we calculated the NRI to determine the prevalence and prognostic impact in terms of mortality of malnutrition in TAVR patients. This retrospective multicenter study included 941 patients who underwent TAVR between 2008 and 2016 (mean age, 80.7 ± 6.5 years; 57% female). The NRI was calculated as 1.519 × albumin (g/L) + 41.7 × (real weight [kg] / ideal weight [kg]). The mean NRI was 98.1 ± 7.0%. The patients were stratified into the following groups based on malnutrition risk: severe (NRI
