Prognostic significance of the controlling nutritional (CONUT) score in patients with acute coronary syndrome

Abstract
Malnutrition is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The controlling nutritional (CONUT) score has been applied to assess nutritional status, and has been reported to be associated with poor prognosis in patients with heart failure. However, the prognostic impact of the CONUT score in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains to be elucidated.
