Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index: Predicting Outcomes in Elderly with Bloodstream Infections
Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index: A Valuable Predictor for Elderly with Bloodstream Infections Malnutrition is a common and critical determinant of outcomes in hospitalized patients, especially among the elderly. While bloodstream infections (BSIs) pose severe risks on their own, nutritional status may amplify vulnerability and hinder recovery. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a simple,…
