Malnutrition on admission increases the in‐hospital mortality and length of stay in elder adults with acute ischemic stroke
PURPOSE: Malnutrition, as determined by the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT), has an effect on the 3‐month and long‐term prognosis of stroke patients. The association between malnutrition and in‐hospital mortality has not been well established. We aimed to investigate the relationship between...

description | PURPOSE: Malnutrition, as determined by the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT), has an effect on the 3‐month and long‐term prognosis of stroke patients. The association between malnutrition and in‐hospital mortality has not been well established. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the CONUT score on admission and in‐hospital mortality and length of stay (LOS) in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). METHODS: This study analyzed controls and patients with AIS. Malnutrition was determined using the CONUT score. A CONUT score of 5–12 was defined as undernutrition status. Based on the CONUT scores, the patients were divided into the low CONUT (0–4) and high CONUT (5–12) groups. RESULTS: In total, 1079 participants were recruited, comprising 288 controls and 791 AIS patients. Among the 791 patients, 64 (8.1%) had malnutrition and 63 (7.9%) had an in‐hospital death. Compared to the controls, the AIS patients presented higher CONUT scores, higher proportion of in‐hospital mortality (8.0%), and longer length of stay. Malnutrition was independently associated with in‐hospital mortality in the AIS patients (adjusted odds ratio: 3.77, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.55–9.15; p = 0.003). The general linear models showed an association between the CONUT score and LOS (β = 0.574, 95% CI: 0.208–0.934; p = 0.002). Furthermore, the effect of the interaction between infection and nutrition status on in‐hospital mortality showed borderline statistical significance (p = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS: Malnutrition estimated by the CONUT score on admission can be a predictor of in‐hospital mortality and increased LOS in elderly AIS patients. |
