This study aimed to (1) determine the association between preoperative malnutrition and the risks of re-revision and all-cause mortality-distinguishing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI)-related from non-PJI failures-and (2) establish clinically relevant thresholds of the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) for high-risk patient stratification.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In this retrospective cohort study, 1,297 consecutive patients undergoing hip or knee revision arthroplasty between 2008 and 2024 were analyzed. The PNI, calculated from serum albumin and lymphocyte count, was evaluated as both a continuous and categorical variable. Primary outcomes were re-revision (classified as PJI or non-PJI) and long-term all-cause mortality. Analyses included multivariable logistic and Cox regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) modeling, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM).
