In addition, direct head-to-head comparisons of these indices' prognostic performance are limited.<h4>Objective</h4>To assess whether albumin-related indices-CALLY, PNI, CONUT, CAR, and LA-are independently associated with overall and infection-specific (sepsis or pneumonia) mortality in older adults with severe dysphagia receiving long-term artificial nutrition.<h4>Methods</h4>In this cohort, we analyzed 236 hospitalized older Japanese patients with severe dysphagia receiving long-term artificial feeding. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and infection.
