Description
Two bedside scores built from routine blood tests may warn which trauma patients are heading for sepsis, Zhenli Zhai and colleagues reported in 2026. The retrospective study, at a hospital in Hebei, China, tested the CONUT score and the prognostic nutritional index, both of which grade nutrition and immune state.
The cohort held 722 emergency trauma patients admitted between January 2021 and November 2023, and 33.1% of them developed sepsis during care. After adjustment, each rise in CONUT score came with higher sepsis odds, while each rise in PNI came with lower odds, and both links bent rather than running straight. Discrimination was solid for both scores. Zhai and colleagues call the findings exploratory and ask for prospective multicenter testing before clinical use.
