Nutritional Vulnerability and Functional Decline in End-Stage Heart Failure and Chronic Respiratory Disease: Utility of the CONUT Score in a Palliative Cohort
Patients with CHF receiving palliative care demonstrate higher rates of malnutrition than those with CRD. The CONUT score, derived from standard blood test, may be pragmatic screening tool for identifying nutritional vulnerability and guiding interventions. While it does not predict survival, it may help detect functional decline earlier and support care strategies aimed at maintaining quality of life in end-stage disease.
