Purpose: There is a lack of research on nutritional status and poor prognosis in patients with metabolic syndrome and heart failure. This study evaluated the relationship between nutritional status as defined by the PNI and adverse outcomes in patients with metabolic syndrome and heart failure. Methods: A total of 1048 heart failure patients with metabolic syndrome admitted to the Heart Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2015 to December 2019 were consecutively. PNI was used to assess their nutritional status. Results: A total of 51.0% of the patients were in the nonmalnutrition group (PNI[greater than or equal to]45), 27.9% were in the mild malnutrition group (40[less than or equal to]PNI Conclusion: In patients with metabolic syndrome and heart failure, malnutrition assessed by PNI is an independent predictor for all-cause death and cardiovascular death, and PNI is negatively correlated with the occurrence of adverse outcomes.
