Multivariate Cox regression analysis of GNRI change groups for MACCE according to baseline nutritional status

	Unadjusted		*Adjusted
	HR (95% CI)	P value	HR (95% CI)	P value
Lower baseline GNRI group (n = 63)
Improved group	Reference		Reference
Worsening or stationary group	3.46 (0.98–12.37)	0.06	3.33 (0.90–12.31)	0.06
Higher baseline GNRI group (n = 70)
Improved group	Reference		Reference
Worsening or stationary group	2.98 (1.25–7.11)	0.01	3.90 (1.45–10.53)	0.01

^*Adjusted for age, sex, presence of diabetes mellitus, previous cardiovascular disease, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein.

Improved group included patients with delta GNRI > 0; Worsening or stationary group included patients with delta GNRI ≤ 0.

CI, confidence interval; GNRI, geriatric nutritional risk index; HR, hazard ratio; MACCE, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events.
