Article Synopsis
- The study explores the link between nutritional status and mortality in elderly patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), focusing on those aged 65 and older who attended a rehabilitation department over seven years.
- An analysis of 170 patients found that while severe malnutrition was absent, moderate malnutrition indicated a significantly higher risk of mortality compared to normal and mild groups, highlighting the importance of the CONUT score.
- Multivariate analysis identified factors such as GAP stage, mMRC scale, and CONUT score as significant predictors of all-cause mortality, underscoring the need for nutritional assessment in managing IPF patients.
