Comparative predictive value of preoperative GNRI, PNI, and CONUT for postoperative delirium in geriatric abdominal surgery patients admitted to the ICU
We developed a practical nomogram and identified the CONUT score as a valuable preoperative predictor for POD-both demonstrating comparable predictive utility. The CONUT score outperformed PNI and GNRI by integrating key biomarkers (albumin, cholesterol, lymphocytes) into a single metric. Although its components overlap with the clinical model, CONUT offers high specificity and simplicity, making it an efficient tool for rapid preoperative risk stratification.
