    Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a high-risk surgical procedure associated with significant adverse events.

  • 2

    Malnutrition and inflammation are linked to poorer outcomes in coronary artery disease, impacting mortality and cardiovascular events.

  • 3

    The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) combines lymphocyte counts and albumin levels to assess nutritional and inflammatory status.

  • 4

    The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) serves as an inflammatory biomarker, predicting postoperative complications and mortality.

  • 5

    This study evaluates the predictive value of preoperative PNI and NLR for outcomes in patients undergoing CABG.
