Malnutrition and biological frailty are independent and complementary predictors of one-year mortality in women after primary angioplasty for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
Abstract:Background
Malnutrition and sarcopenia are common features of frailty. Prevalence of frailty among ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients is higher in women than men.
Purpose
Assess gender-based differences in the impact of nutritional risk index (NRI) and frailty in one-year mortality rate among STEMI patients following primary angioplasty (PA).
