BACKGROUND: The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a prognostic indicator for several diseases, meanwhile, nutrition and inflammation play important roles in the disease progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the association between the GNRI and ALS remains unknown.

METHODS: 443 patients diagnosed with ALS were divided into two groups based on the GNRI levels. Associations between GNRI and survival time were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves and compared by the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess their prognostic values for survival time. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation coefficients between GNRI and other clinical variables.

RESULTS: No significant differences were found in diagnostic delay between the two groups. The onset age and disease progression rate (DPR) were significantly lower in high GNRI group while forced vital capacity (FVC), revised version of the ALS functional rating scale (ALSFRS-R), serum albumin and body mass index (BMI) were significantly lower in low GNRI group. Lower GNRI levels were linked with shorter ALS patients' survival time by Kaplan-Meier curves. The univariate and multivariate analysis identified the onset age, gender, onset site, diagnostic delay, DRP and GNRI as predictors of survival time in patients with ALS.

CONCLUSION: Nutritional status was closely corelated with ALS progression. The GNRI may be used as a potential prognostic indictor for ALS patients.
