摘要: 营养不良与多种疾病的不良预后相关,近些年在心血管疾病中也有许多研究发现营养不良与心血管疾病预后相关,但目前心血管疾病并无公认的营养不良金标准,本文梳理了营养不良与心血管疾病之间的关系,并且探讨了多种营养不良评估工具目前在心血管疾病关系的研究,特别是客观营养状态评分工具COUNT、GNRI及PNI评估为营养不良的患者在多种心血管疾病预后不佳,同时部分营养状态评分意义仍有争议。
Abstract: Malnutrition is associated with adverse prognoses across a spectrum of diseases. In recent years, a growing body of research has established links between malnutrition and outcomes in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, a universally accepted gold standard for diagnosing malnutrition in the context of CVDs is still lacking. This article synthesizes the current understanding of the relationship between malnutrition and CVDs, and examines the application of various malnutrition assessment tools in CVD-related research. Notably, patients identified as malnourished via objective nutritional status scoring tools—including the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI)—exhibit poor prognoses across multiple CVD subtypes. Concurrently, the clinical significance of certain nutritional status scores remains a subject of debate.
