Özlem DeligözOsman EkinciPublished in: Clinical interventions in aging (2022)
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.
