Abstract:

Objective To explore the application value of mini nutritional assessment short-form version(MNA-SF) for assessing nutritional status of heart failure(HF) in elderly women and its relationship with poor prognosis. Methods The data of 279 elderly HR women, who treated in our hospital from January 1, 2018 to January 1, 2020 were enrolled to analyze the clinical characteristics. MNA-SF score was used to assess the nutritional status, and the correlation between MNA-SF score and prognosis was explored. Results Malnutrition rate of cardiac function level Ⅳ in those patients was significantly higher than that of cardiac function level Ⅱ, Ⅲ (93.3% vs 69.4%,76.3%,P=0.035). MNA-SF was negatively related to N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)(r=-0.382, P<0.01), NT-proBNP level of malnutrition patients was significantly higher than that of normal patients (P<0.01)and with significantly higher the adverse incidence for HR(28.6% vs 12.1%, P=0.007). Conclusion For elderly HR women the incidence of malnutrition is common. MNA-SF score can be used to evaluate for their nutritional status, with great significance for prognosis.
