Mortality Prediction Using Modified Nutric Score (mNUTRIC) Score in Mechanically Ventilated Patients: A Prospective Observational Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: The Nutritional Risk in the Critically Ill (NUTRIC) score is widely recognized for assessing the nutritional risk in ICU patients. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a Modified NUTRIC (mNUTRIC) Score for predicting mortality in mechanically ventilated patients. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted with 300 mechanically ventilated patients at Saveetha Medical College ICU from November 2022 to February 2024. The mNUTRIC score at admission was calculated and analyzed against patient outcomes to assess its predictive value for mortality. Results: The mNUTRIC score demonstrated significant predictive capability for mortality in mechanically ventilated ICU patients, with higher scores correlating with increased risk of death. Conclusion: The mNUTRIC score is a valuable tool for predicting mortality in mechanically ventilated patients, aiding in early identification of high-risk patients for targeted nutritional and therapeutic interventions.
