Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) for predicting perioperative complications after tuberculous constrictive pericarditis surgery: a single-center retrospective study
A lower preoperative PNI is strongly associated with a higher incidence of adverse perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing pericardiectomy for tuberculous constrictive pericarditis. As a reliable indicator of preoperative nutritional status, PNI can serve as an independent risk factor and a modifiable clinical parameter to reduce adverse outcomes.
