Description
Jia Wang and Wenxiu Pan study nutrition scores and death risk in older adults who cannot swallow safely, in a paper published in 2025. These patients rely on long term tube feeding and face high mortality. Several scores built from albumin and related blood values claim to predict that risk, but direct comparisons are rare.
The cohort covers 236 hospitalized older patients in Japan with severe swallowing problems. The authors test five albumin related indices against deaths from all causes and from infection. They use layered survival models, curve fits, and standard accuracy checks, plus tests of whether blood hemoglobin explains the links. Subgroup and sensitivity checks probe how firm the results are. The aim is a clearer ranking of simple bedside scores.
