Nutritional status and risk of all-cause mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement assessment using the geriatric nutritional risk index and the controlling nutritional status score

ConclusionsIn patients undergoing TAVR, low GNRI (but not high CONUT score) was independently associated with a higher risk of 1-year mortality. Further research is required to determine whether nutritional screening and management can improve clinical outcomes in patients undergoing TAVR.Graphic abstract
