Aim: To validate the role of the albumin-derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (ALB-dNLR) score in diagnosing malnutrition in medical inpatients over 70 years old. Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study involving 7 departments from 14 Chinese hospitals. The ALB-dNLR score was calculated, and outcomes between groups with positive and negative ALB-dNLR scores were compared after propensity score matching (PSM). Afterwards, the outcomes were compared between the groups receiving nutrition support and those not receiving support among malnourished patients diagnosed using the Global Leadership Initiative Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria after PSM. Results: Out of 10,184 cases, 6165 were eligible. 2200 cases were in the positive ALB-dNLR score group. After PSM, 1458 pairs were analyzed, showing lower in-hospital mortality (0.8 % vs. 2.1 %, p = 0.005) and a lower nosocomial infection rate (5.9 % vs. 11.0 %, p |
