Abstract

Objective: To explore the relationship between nutritional risk index (NRI) and poor prognosis of patients with liver abscess (PLA), and to evaluate the prognostic value of NRI. Methods: 90 PLA patients were selected from June 2016 to December 2021, and were divided into NRI<83.5 group (n=44 cases) and NRI ≥ 83.5 group (n=46 cases) according to the NRI threshold score of 83.5. The demographic data, clinical data and clinical treatment effect between the two groups were compared, and the prognostic evaluation value was analyzed using Logistic regression analysis model and subject operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: Compared with PLA patients in NRI ≥ 83.5 group, the risk of metastatic infection (25.00 % vs 6.52 %), acute liver failure (9.09 % vs 0.00 %), acute respiratory failure (13.64 % vs 2.17 %), upper gastrointestinal bleeding (13.64 % vs 2.17 %), lung infection (20.45 % vs 6.52 %), poor prognosis (45.45 % vs 19.57 %) and mortality (13.64 % vs 2.17 %) in NRI<83.5 group were significantly higher (P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age (HR=2.519, 95 % CI=1.106-5.739), BMI (HR=0.708, 95 % CI=0.519-0.967), PLT (HR=0.464, 95 % CI=0.254-0.848), TBil (HR=2.387, 95 % CI=1.131-5.037), PT (HR=2.201, 95 % CI=1.076-4.501) and NRI (<83.5 points) (HR=3.377, 95 % CI=1.471-7.753) were independent predictors of poor prognosis in patients with PLA (P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of NRI predicting poor prognosis in patients with PLA=0.799, and the critical value=87.65. Conclusion: The low level of NRI is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of PLA.
