Nutritional status assessed by prognostic nutritional index and its association with lower extremity deep venous thrombosis: a retrospective study (opens in new tab)

BackgroundDeep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a frequent and potentially fatal complication of hospitalised patients in the lower extremities. Nutritional status affects immune function, coagulation, and recovery, but its relationship with LEDVT has not been adequately explored. The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) is a straightforward marker that includes serum albumin and lymphocyte count and serves as an indicator of both nutritional and immune status.PurposeThis research was done to examine...
