NUTRIC scoring system: If no IL-6 available*
| Sum of points | Category | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 5–9 | High score | • Associated with worse clinical outcomes (mortality, ventilation). |
| • These patients are the most likely to benefit from aggressive nutrition therapy. | ||
| 0–4 | Low score | • These patients have a low malnutrition risk. |
It is acceptable to not include IL-6 data when it is not routinely available; it was shown to contribute very little to the overall prediction of the NUTRIC score
