Systemic Inflammation and its association with functional impairment and mortality in patients with disease-related malnutrition: findings from the AFEDIN cohor... (opens in new tab)

IntroductionThe Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) framework incorporates inflammation as a key etiologic criterion for diagnosing disease-related malnutrition (DRM), yet the clinical implications of systemic inflammation, particularly as quantified by C-reactive protein (CRP), remain insufficiently characterized.MethodsTo evaluate whether CRP-based inflammation thresholds proposed by GLIM are associated with impaired nutritional status, diminished functional capacity, reduce...
