Article Synopsis
- Malnutrition worsens trauma outcomes, and this study aimed to evaluate the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) as a predictor of prognosis, alongside factors like comorbidities and the Barthel Index (BI).
- The study followed 80 Chinese trauma patients, aged 30-69, to assess mortality and related variables over an average of 5.83 months, finding a 93% survival rate and correlations between NRI scores and mortality risk.
- Results indicated that older age, lower NRI scores, specific comorbidities, and certain types of fractures were significant mortality risk factors, while lower BI scores were also linked to increased mortality risk.
