Abstract
Background
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) carries a risk for serious adverse events. The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), are simple measures of nutritional and inflammatory statuses, have been proposed as a potential predictor of postoperative outcomes. This study aimed to assess the predictive performance of preoperative PNI and NLR and their dynamic changes for post-CABG outcomes.
Methods and Materials
The study investigated the medical records of 327 patients who underwent CABG between February 20, 2020, and February 19, 2025.
Results
The overall complication and mortality rates were 15%, and 3.36% respectively. The preoperative PNI decreased significantly (P1
