PG - 235-245 LID - 10.1007/s00592-022-01985-x [doi] AB - AIMS: Microinflammation and malnutrition are common in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to validate whether prognostic nutritional index (PNI) may increase the risk of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and all-cause mortality in T2DM patients. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and National Death Index (NDI) 2013-2018 database. A total of 14,349 eligible subjects were included, and 2720 of them were with T2DM. PNI was assessed by the 5 x lymphocyte count (10(9)/L) + serum albumin (g/L). The Logistic and Cox regression analyses were conducted to investigate the risk factors of DKD and mortality in T2DM patients. RESULTS: For 14,349 participants represented 224.7 million noninstitutionalized residents of the United State, the average PNI was 53.72 +/- 0.12, and the prevalence of T2DM was 14.89%. T2DM patients had a lower level of PNI and dietary protein intake, a higher risk of mortality, kidney injury, anemia, arterial hypertension and hyperuricemia, compared with non-T2DM subjects. DKD occurred in 35.06% of diabetic participants and a higher PNI was independently related with a lower risk of DKD (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.459-0.892, p = 0.01) in T2DM after multivariate adjustment. During a median follow-up of 46 person-months (29-66 months), a total of 233 T2DM individuals died from all causes (mortality rate = 8.17%). Subjects with T2DM who had a higher PNI showed a lower risk of all-cause mortality (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.37-0.97, p = 0.036). CONCLUSIONS: PNI, as a marker of immunonutrition, correlated with the incidence of DKD, and was an independent predictor for all-cause mortality in participants with T2DM. Thus, PNI may conduce to the risk stratification and timely intervention of T2DM patients. CI - (c) 2022. Springer-Verlag Italia S.r.l., part of Springer Nature.
