Description
Jiquan Xiao and co-authors test whether a simple nutrition score predicts survival after unblocking a completely closed heart artery in older patients, in a 2026 study. The prognostic nutritional index combines albumin and white cell counts from routine blood work. The patients, 745 people aged sixty and over treated successfully between 2011 and 2023, all had chronic total occlusions opened by catheter.
Over a median follow-up of about twenty-seven months, fifty-eight patients died and one hundred and one suffered a major cardiovascular event. Each one-point rise in the nutrition index came with about fifteen percent lower mortality risk in the adjusted model. Flexible curve analysis probed whether the benefit flattens at high scores. The authors propose the index, free from any blood panel, as a triage aid for a frail, high-risk group.
