Optimal cut-off value of preprocedural geriatric nutritional risk index for predicting the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing endovascular revascularization for peripheral artery disease.

CONCLUSIONS: Preprocedural nutritional status significantly stratified future events in patients with PAD. Given that the optimal cut-off value of GNRI in CLI was almost 10-points lower than that of IC, using a disease-specific cut-off value is important for risk stratification.
