Abstract
Abstract Background Age >75 years had been generally considered to be an important and independent risk factor of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), while these patients often suffer from malnutrition. However, the predictive value of objective nutritional status for CI-AKI in elderly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unknown. Purpose To evaluate the association of two kinds of objective nutritional indices includes controlling nutritional (CONUT) score and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) with CI-AKI in elderly patients undergoing PCI. Methods In a single center prospective cohort study,we enrolled 714 consecutive patients who aged >75 years undergoing PCI between January 2012 and December 2015 were screened based on their serum albumin, lymphocyte count, and total cholesterol measures. Patients were stratified into different groups according to two kinds of objective nutritional scores. Patients were divided into low-PNI (PNI <35), middle-PNI (35 ≤ PNI <38), and high-PNI (PNI ≥38). They were also divided into four groups according to CONUT score: normal-CONUT (0–1), mild-CONUT (2–4), moderate-CONUT (5–8), and severe-CONUT (≥9). CI-AKI was defined as an increase in the serum creatinine levels of ≥50% or 0.3 mg/dL above the baseline level within 48hrs after contrast medium exposure. Results Overall, 55 (7.7%) had moderate-severe CONUT scores, and 35 (4.9%) had low-middle PNI scores,while 93 (13.0%) patients developed CI-AKI. Patients with a lower PNI score or higher CONUT score had significantly higer incidence of CI-AKI [PNI score: high (11.8%), middle (33.3%), and low (45.5%), respectively; P<0.0001; CONUT score: normal (9.6%), mild (12.7%), moderate (30.2%), and severe (100%), respectively; P<0.0001]. After adjusting 6 confounders, including age, serum creatinine (SCR) >1.5mg/dl, left ventricular ejection fraction (LEVF) <45%, myocardial infarction, peri-hypotension and the contrast volume >200 ml, multivariate analysis showed that worse objective nutritional status (either lower PNI scores or higer CONUT scores) was associated with an increased CI-AKI risk (Low PNI vs High PNI: OR: 5.274, P=0.015; Moderate-Severe CONUT vs Normal CONUT: OR: 2.891, P=0.007). Incidence of CIAKI Conclusions Worse objective nutritional status was associated with CI-AKI in elderly patients after PCI.
