Prognostic Nutritional Index as a Predictor of Mortality in Intensive Care Unit Patients with Pressure Injuries: Insights from a Large Cohort Study
PNI can be calculated from routine laboratory results and may guide early nutritional or wound care interventions in ICU patients with PI. A PNI value below 19.02 is associated with an increased risk of mortality (<i>i.e.</i>, PNI <19.02 = high risk) and serves as a critical threshold for identifying patients at elevated risk.
