① Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 all used Group 4 as the reference group

② Group 1 (ALI < 24.60 and GNRI < 94.41); Group 2 (ALI < 24.60 and GNRI ≥ 94.41); Group 3 (ALI ≥ 24.60 and GNRI < 94.41); Group 4 (ALI ≥ 24.60 and GNRI ≥ 94.41)

③ Model 1: adjusted for age; Model 2: adjusted for age, NYHA class and diastolic BP; Model 3: adjusted for Model 2 + CRP, AST, uric acid, chloride, lg BNP

④ ALI advanced lung cancer inflammation index, GNRI geriatric nutritional risk index, HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval, NYHA New York Heart Association, BP blood pressure, CRP C-reactive protein, AST aspartate aminotransferase, BNP brain natriuretic peptide
