Description
Muraoka and co-authors look for a simple score that predicts how independent older heart failure patients will be when they leave hospital. Many such patients lose the ability to manage daily tasks during a hospital stay, even with cardiac rehabilitation. A nutrition-based score, the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, was their candidate.
The team reviewed eighty-six patients aged seventy-five and older who were transferred for rehabilitation. Those with higher nutrition scores at admission were more likely to reach a high level of daily-living ability at discharge, and the index was the only independent predictor found. A cutoff score is proposed to help staff spot patients who need extra support early.
