Abstract:
Objective To investigate whether the preoperative nutritional risk index(NRI) can predict the clinical out-comes of the patients underwent homologous orthotopic heart transplantation after 4 weeks.Methods With the use of continu-ous sampling method, a total of 168 adult patients who underwent homologous orthotopic heart transplantation from March 2013 to March 2015 were enrolled in this study.According to the cut-off points of the NRI, the patients were divided into 4 groups (high, moderate, mild and no nutritional risk).4 weeks after transplantation, the data about the length of stay in ICU, infec-tive and non-infective complications were collected , and the predictive value of the preoperative NRI for the clinical outcomes of the patients underwent homologous orthotopic heart transplantation were evaluated after 4 weeks of operation.In addition, the enrolled patients were divided into 2 groups according to their nutritional risk(with or without), and the differences between the two groups were compared.Results Among the patients, the prevalence of high, moderate, and low nutritional risk was 7. 1％, 32.7％ and 9.5％, respectively.The prevalence of infective complications for the 4 groups(from high risk to no risk) was 16.7％、7.3％、6.3％ and 3.5％, and the corresponding prevalence of non-infective complications was 16.7％、9.1％、6.3％ and 2.4％, respectively.In addition, the length of ICU stay of the 4 group was(10.9 ±1.0)days,(7.8 ±0.5)days, (6.7 ±0.7)days and(5.9 ±0.6)days, respectively.There were significant differences of length of ICU stay, infective and non-infective complications among the 4 groups(P<0.05 for all).Totally, there were significant differences of clinical out-comes between patients with and without nutritional risk(P <0.05 for all).Conclusion Preoperative NRI can predict the clinical outcomes regarding infective and no-infective complications as well as length of ICU stay for the adult patients under-went homologous orthotopic heart transplantation .
