Prevalence and Impact of Malnutrition Risk on Outcomes in Critically Ill Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using Electronic Health Records.

Background: Malnutrition is a critical concern in ICU settings. It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, yet its prevalence and impact on clinical outcomes in patients with stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain underexplored.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and impact of malnutrition risk on clinical outcomes in ICU patients with TBI, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke, and to identify key risk factors associated with malnutrition risk.
