ObjectiveMalnutrition, accompanied by an inflammatory profile, is a risk factor for poor prognosis in hemodialysis patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive value of NLR combined with GNRI for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients.MethodsA total of 240 maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients in hemodialysis centers were enrolled in this retrospective study. The influencing factors of all-cause death in hemodialysis patients were analyzed by COX regression. The cut-off values of GNRI and NLR for predicting mortality in enrolled MHD patients were 89.01 and 4, respectively. Based on these cut-off values, the patients were divided into four groups: G1: high GNRI (≥ 89.01) + high NLR (≥ 4) group; G2: high GNRI (≥ 89.01) + low NLR (ResultsDuring the follow-up period (average: 58 months), the all-cause mortality was 20.83%(50/240) and the cardiovascular mortality was 12.08%(29/240). Both NLR and GNRI were independent risk factors for the prognosis of MHD patients (PConclusionsOur study demonstrates that bothGNRI and NLR are associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in MHD patients. Combining these two factorsmay contribute to a prognostic evaluation for MHD patients.
