Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To establish the predictive value on mortality after 2 months from hospital admission of two laboratory markers of nutritional and inflammatory status, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and prealbumin, in a cohort of frail multimorbid elderly without terminal illness. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Internal medicine ward of a large teaching hospital in Italy. PARTICIPANTS: 544 Caucasian patients with acute disease consecutively admitted from January to June 2013. 102 were excluded for being younger than 65 years old, having life expectancy
