Impact of the prognostic nutritional index on renal replacement therapy–free survival and mortality in patients on continuous renal replacement therapy

Background The survival of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is highly dependent on their nutritional status.Objectives The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an indicator used to assess nutritional status and is calculat...

description Background The survival of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is highly dependent on their nutritional status.Objectives The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an indicator used to assess nutritional status and is calculated as: PNI = (serum albumin in g/dL) × 10 + (total lymphocyte count in/mm3) × 0.005. In this retrospective study, we investigated the correlation between this index and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with AKI receiving CRRT.Methods We analyzed data from 2076 critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit at Changhua Christian Hospital, a tertiary hospital in central Taiwan, between January 1, 2010, and April 30, 2021. All these patients met the inclusion criteria of the study. The relationship between PNI and renal replacement therapy-free survival (RRTFS) and mortality was examined using logistic regression models, Cox proportional hazard models, and propensity score matching. High utilization rate of parenteral nutrition (PN) was observed in our study. Subgroup analysis was performed to explore the interaction effect between PNI and PN on mortality.Results Patients with higher PNI levels exhibited a greater likelihood of achieving RRTFS, with an adjusted odds ratio of 2.43 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.98-2.97, p-value < 0.001). Additionally, these patients demonstrated higher survival rates, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.72-0.98) for 28-day mortality and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.69-0.92) for 90-day mortality (all p-values < 0.05), compared to those in the low PNI group. While a high utilization rate of parenteral nutrition (PN) was observed, with 78.86% of CRRT patients receiving PN, subgroup analysis showed that high PNI had an independent protective effect on mortality outcomes in AKI patients receiving CRRT, regardless of their PN status.Conclusions PNI can serve as an easy, simple, and efficient measure of lymphocytes and albumin levels to predict RRTFS and mortality in AKI patients with require CRRT.
