Prognostic Nutritional Index as a Predictor of In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Ischemic Hepatitis

We analyzed 40 our hospital with a diagnosis of IH. The patients were classified into two groups (survivals and non-survivals) and they were compared according to their clinical and laboratory characteristics. PNI was calculated as 10 x serum albumin (g/dL) + 0.005 x total lymphocyte count (per mm 3 ). We also used a logistic regression to identify any risk factors of in-hospital mortality. The mean of the study cohort Of the 25 (64.1%) were male, and 21 (52.5%) died during their intensive coronary unit stay. The PNI were significantly lower in the non-survival group than in the survival group (40.9±6.7 vs 32.9±5.8, p<0.001). Multivariate analysis the PNI ratio (OR): 0.98, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.97-0.99, p≤0.001], glucose (OR: 2.54, 95% CI: 1.64-4.29, p≤0.001), albumin (OR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.91-0.996, p≤0.001), red cell distribution width (OR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.98-0.99, p≤0.001) independently predicted in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSION: The PNI is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with a diagnosis of IH.
