Inter-relation between Altered Nutritional Status and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction Admitted in a Tertiary Intensive Cardiac Care Unit

Abstract

Background: The impact of nutritional status on the early outcome of subjects with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still not completely elucidated. This study aimed to assess the correlation between nutritional status, as expressed by the CONUT and PIN scores, and (1) clinical and laboratory characteristics, (2) complication rates, and (3) length of hospitalization, in patients with AMI.
