Prognostic nutritional index as a potential predictor of prognosis in patients with sepsis: a retrospective cohort study by Mingyuan Pan, Zheng Li, Shanfeng Sheng, Xiao Teng, Yuyang Li

“…A two—segment Cox proportional hazards model identified inflection points at 11.6 for 14-day, 11.2 for 28-day, and 11.2 for 90-day all-cause mortality ROC analysis showed PNI has lower predictive value for sepsis prognosis than sequential organ failure assessment and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation, yet it can enhance their predictive power Subgroup analyses found no significant interaction between PNI and specific subgroups.ConclusionThere is a significant association between short-term and medium—term all—cause mortality in sepsis patients and PNI, indicating that PNI can be a valuable indicator for predicting in—hospital and ICU mortality risk.…”
