Prediction of Prognosis in Geriatric Palliative Care Patients with Diagnosed Malnutrition: A Comparison of Nutritional Assessment Parameters.

We found that BMI had no prognostic predictive effects in geriatric PCC patients with malnutrition. We concluded that NRS-2002 and high CRP and low albumin and prealbumin can be used to predict mortality. In addition, we found that low albumin indicates a poor prognosis and predicts patients to be transferred to ICU.
