Background And Aim: Malnutrition is strongly related to mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The Patient- and Nutrition-Derived Outcome Risk Assessment Score (PANDORA) is a novel mortality prediction tool encompassing nutritional assessment. Since there is limited evidence regarding the power of PANDORA in predicting mortality in critically ill patients, we aimed to evaluate the benefit of adding PANDORA to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) for mortality prediction in the ICU setting by comparing it with the other valid mortality predictors.
