The prevalence of moderate or severe malnutrition risk in Chinese patients with AIS ranged from 1.95% to 5.89%. Malnutrition risk in patients with AIS was associated with increased risk of long-term death and major disability. Our study provides evidence supporting the prognostic significance of objective malnutrition scores after AIS.
