Predictive Feasibility of the Graz Malnutrition Screening, Controlling Nutritional Status Score, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, and Prognostic Nutritional Index for Postoperative Long-Term Mortality After Surgically Treated Proximal Femur Fracture

Although a significant correlation existed between the evaluated nutritional scores and postoperative mortality, the predictive value of these scores was quantitatively low. No single nutritional assessment tool has emerged as a strong predictor of postoperative outcomes in this patient population. Consequently, implementation of any specific nutritional screening tool for standard assessment in patients with hip fractures is not recommended at this time. Nevertheless, given the established association between malnutrition and postoperative mortality, a comprehensive evaluation of nutritional status is advisable and further research is needed.
