Relationship between the geriatric nutritional risk index and sepsis in elderly critically ill patients: a retrospective cohort study
The study reveals a U-shaped association between GNRI and sepsis in elderly critically ill patients. Both low and high GNRI values are associated with increased sepsis risk, with a turning point at 105.4. These findings highlight GNRI's utility as a screening tool for identifying sepsis risk in elderly ICU patients.
