Meta-Analysis
Geriatric nutritional risk index predicts postoperative prognosis in older patients with hip fracture: A meta-analysis.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2024 April 27
BACKGROUND: Hip fracture is common in elderly individuals and is accompanied by a relatively high mortality rate. However, it is currently difficult to accurately predict postoperative prognosis for older patients with hip fractures. The aim of this meta-analysis was to further determine the prognostic value of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) for patients who underwent hip fracture surgery.
METHODS: The Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science, and CNKI databases were searched up to September 19, 2023, for available studies. The primary and secondary outcomes were the mortality and complication rates, respectively. Hazard ratios (HRs) and relative risks with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were separately combined to assess the associations between the GNRI and mortality and complication rates. All the statistical analyses were performed with STATA 15.0 and SPSS 22.0 software.
RESULTS: A total of 9 studies with 3959 patients were included. The pooled results demonstrated that a lower GNRI was significantly related to an increased risk of postoperative mortality (HR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.72-0.92, P = .001). In addition, the GNRI predicted the risk of overall postoperative complications (52% vs 35.5%, P = .04) and pneumonia (33.3% vs 13.6%, P = .010).
CONCLUSION: The GNRI might serve as a novel prognostic indicator for older patients with hip fractures, and a lower GNRI indicates an increased risk of postoperative mortality and complication rates.
