Background

The number of patients with lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) continues to increase. Moreover, the volume of endovascular treatment (EVT) increases accordingly. 
On the other hand, malnutrition of LEAD patients is underestimated despite nutritional factors are potentially a correctable parameter. 
Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), calculated from serum albumin and the components of the body mass index, is a simple nutritional screening method. 
However, it is not well known whether GNRI before EVT affects the prognosis of LEAD patients.
We investigatedwhether GNRI before EVT affects the prognosis of LEAD patients

Methods

This study was a single-center, retrospectiveanalysis. Between January 2010 and December 2022, consecutive 130 patientsunderwent the first EVT for LEAD at our hospital. 
The patients were dividedinto two groups based on the median GNRI: GNRI ¡Ã 91 group(n = 68) and GNRI < 91 group (n = 62). 
The primaryendpoint was all-cause death, and the secondary endpoints were major amputationand target lesion revascularization (TLR) after EVT.

Results

During the follow-up, 67 patients died after EVT. All-cause mortalitywas significantly higher in GNRI<91 group (P < 0.001). 
However, majoramputation and target lesion revascularization rates were not significantlydifferent between the two groups.

Conclusion

The GNRI before EVT was independently associated with mortality inpatients with LEAD.
We should consider the patient's background including malnutrition before EVT.
