Mini nutritional assessment short-form as a risk factor for mortality in patients with respiratory disease undergoing urgent hospitalization.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundStudies of nutritional status in geriatric patients with respiratory diseases are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the mortality risk of older patients undergoing urgent hospitalization for various respiratory diseases.
methodsThis was a retrospective study of patients aged ≥ 65 years with respiratory diseases who were urgently hospitalized between April 2022 and November 2024. The Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF) was evaluated at the time of urgent admission, and the malnutrition risk was defined by the MNA-SF score < 11. Comorbidities and frailty were assessed using the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) and Clinical frailty scale (CFS), respectively. Biomarkers of inflammation and acute respiratory failure such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), Respiratory rate-oxygenation (ROX) index, and the pulse oximetric saturation (SpO
resultsA total of 168 consecutive patients were enrolled in the study with median age of 77 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 72-84). Thirty-nine patients (23.2%) died during hospitalization, and the median time to death was 17 days (IQR: 10-25). Univariate analysis demonstrated that older age (> 77 years), low S/F ratio (< 315), low ROX (< 8.3), high NLR (> 6), high CFS (> 5), and low MNA-SF (< 11) were associated with in-hospital mortality, multivariate analysis revealed that low MNA-SF was an independent predictor.
conclusionsThe MNA-SF is a risk factor for mortality in older patients undergoing urgent hospitalization due to various respiratory diseases.
