Use of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index for Nutritional Screening in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis
BACKGROUND: To explore the use of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) to screen maintenance hemodialysis patients at nutritional risk in Taiwan. METHODS: GNRI was used to assess nutritional risk in 179 hemodialysis patients. Two sets of GNRI cutoff values and a ‘no nutrition-related’ risk assessment were used to divide patients into groups with different nutrition-related risks. For each cl...

متن کاملAssessing risk screening methods of malnutrition in geriatric patients: Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) versus Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI).
INTRODUCTION Elderly subjects are considered a vulnerable group and they have more risk of nutritional problems. The risk of malnutrition increases in hospitalized geriatric patients. OBJECTIVES To compare the correlation between MNA and GNRI with anthropometric, biochemical and Barthel Index in hospitalized geriatric patients and to test the concordance between MNA and GNRI and between Mini ...
متن کاملGeriatric Nutritional Risk Index as a Simple Predictor of Mortality in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Single Center Study
Background: Malnutrition is associated with higher risk of mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) has been developed as a tool to assess the nutritional risk. Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to examine the significance of the GNRI as a mortality predictor in MHD patients. Methods: We retrospectively examined the GNRI of...
