The CONUT score is a laboratory-based nutrition assessment tool that grades undernutrition severity using serum albumin, total cholesterol, and lymphocyte count-derived points. Higher scores indicate worse nutritional status and increased adverse-outcome risk.
Formula: CONUT total = sum of component points from albumin, cholesterol, and lymphocyte count (0-12).
CONUT has extensive prognostic validation across older-adult and chronic disease cohorts.
Higher CONUT scores indicate greater undernutrition burden and support intensified nutrition management.
Use when laboratory data are available and objective undernutrition-risk stratification is needed.
Inflammation, fluid status, and non-nutritional lab disturbances can affect component values.
