Background: There is an international consensus that nutrition screening be performed at the hospital; however, there no “best tool” for of malnutrition risk in hospitalized patients. Objective: To evaluate (1) accuracy MUST (Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool), MST and SNAQ (Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire) comparison with NRS‐2002 (Nutritional Risk 2002) to identify patients (2) ability these tools predict morbidity mortality. Methods: A specific questionnaire was...
Abstract Background Assessment of nutrition risk in the intensive care unit (ICU) is limited by characteristics critically ill patients, and new methods have been investigated for their applicability predictive validity. The aim present study was to evaluate validity bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) parameters as predictors clinical outcomes patients. Methods This a prospective cohort patients admitted an ICU. modified Nutrition Risk Critically Ill score used assessment risk, BIA...
Abstract Background The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition recommends nutrition screening in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) indicates use of 2 tools: Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) or Critically Ill (NUTRIC). This study aims compare risk detected by NRS NUTRIC identify whether both tools are equivalent clinical practice ICU. Methods A retrospective cohort was conducted hospital centers south Brazil. Adult (≥18 years old) who stayed ICU...
There is limited evidence on the applicability of subjective global assessment (SGA) in critically ill patients, despite its good performance diagnosing undernutrition clinical and surgical patients. Our aim was to evaluate association between SGA anthropometric measures predicting outcomes mortality patients.This observational prospective study carried out with patients admitted intensive care unit (SICU) a Brazilian hospital. Nutrition comprised (weight height for body mass index [BMI]...
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the validity of calf circumference (CC) in identifying malnourished patients and at nutritional risk determine association between CC clinical outcomes hospitalized patients.Methods: A prospective cohort was conducted involving admitted emergency department a tertiary hospital first 48 hours admission. Nutritional determined using Risk Screening, malnutrition diagnosed subjective global assessment, manually measured. Brazilian cutoff points for were...
Abstract Background : Recently, the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) provided novel consensus criteria malnutrition diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate applicability of this instrument in combination with different nutrition screening tools (1) identify (2) predict morbidity mortality hospitalized patients. Materials Methods Observational prospective 750 adults admitted emergency service a tertiary public hospital. Subjective Global Assessment (SGA—reference...
Abstract Background There are many nutrition screening tools currently being applied in hospitals to identify risk of malnutrition. However, multivariate statistical models not usually employed take into account the importance each variable included instrument's development. Objective To develop and evaluate concurrent predictive validities a new tool risk. Methods A prospective cohort study was developed, which 4 were all patients. Length stay hospital mortality considered test validity,...
