Many nutrition risk screening tools include low body mass index (BMI). It remains uncertain whether it affects the validity of these in patients with overweight or obesity. We aimed to determine frequency malnutrition and evaluate its association hospital length stay hospitalized adults according BMI classification.
Malnutrition is prevalent in hospital, and the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) has been widely used for its identification. However, last decade, new tools were proposed by Academy of Nutrition Dietetics-American Society Parenteral Enteral (AND-ASPEN), European Clinical Metabolism (ESPEN) Leadership Initiative on (GLIM). The diagnostic test accuracy these scarcely investigated. Thus, we aimed to compare AND-ASPEN, ESPEN GLIM malnutrition diagnosis hospitalised patients.A cross-sectional...
Abstract Background Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) is the reference method to identify hospital malnutrition. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics American Society for Parenteral Enteral (AND‐ASPEN) proposed a more objective consensus, but studies regarding its validity are still scarce. This study aimed evaluate concurrent predictive AND‐ASPEN Consensus. Methods Prospective cohort conducted with hospitalized adult elderly patients. At admission, general data were collected patients...
Nutritional status (NS) monitoring is an essential step of the nutrition care process. To assess changes in NS throughout hospitalisation and its ability to predict clinical outcomes, a prospective cohort study with patients over 18 years age was conducted. The Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) performed within 48 h admission 7 d later. For each patient, decline assessed by two different methods: SGA category severe weight loss alone (≥2 % during first week hospitalisation). Patients were...
Malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome (MSS) is frequent in the hospital setting. However, data on predictive validity of sarcopenia and MSS are scarce. We evaluated association between clinical adverse outcomes (prolonged length stay-LOS, six-month readmission, death) using a prospective cohort study involving adult hospitalized patients (n = 550, 55.3 ± 14.9 years, 53.1% males). Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to EWGSOP2, malnutrition Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). Around 34% were...
Abstract Background Screening of sarcopenia is proposed to identify patients who require the diagnosis this condition. One screening tools Strength, Assistance with walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs, Fall and Calf Circumference (SARC‐CalF). However, evidence for its applicability, especially in hospital setting, scarce. Therefore, study aimed evaluate association between “suggestive signs using SARC‐CalF” clinical outcomes. Methods Prospective cohort hospitalized aged ≥60 years was...
Abstract Background The SARC‐CalF was developed as a screening tool for sarcopenia, but little is still known about its validity in surgical patients. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prognostic value of predicting clinical outcomes patients admitted any elective surgery hospital. Methods Cohort with prospective data collection ≥18 years age screened sarcopenia within 48 h admission using (score ≥11 points classified at suggestive signs sarcopenia). A standard questionnaire...
Malnourished patients present impairment of functionality due to loss strength and muscle mass. However, the validity handgrip (HGS) in identifying malnutrition its association with clinical outcomes hospitalized requires investigation.Evaluate accuracy HGS malnutrition, outcomes, change first 2 weeks hospitalization.A prospective cohort study adult/elderly patients. Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) was applied 48 hours for diagnosis, measured this moment after 7 14 days hospital...
"Gold standard" methods for muscle mass (MM) assessment are expensive and difficult to use in clinical practice. The present study aimed evaluate the association between easy-to-apply low-cost indicators of MM outcomes hospitalized patients.In this cohort study, calf circumference [CC], adductor pollicis thickness [APMT], midarm [MAMC], arm area [AMA] were measured within 48 h admission detect loss, it was also evaluated by physical examination. Patients followed up until discharge...
We aimed to evaluate the mean time reach energy (EAR) and protein (PAR) achievement rate among patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who did or not undergo prone position (PP) therapy in first week of their stay intensive care unit (ICU), interaction these nutrition indicators on association between PP clinical outcomes.This cohort study used retrospective data collected from medical records COVID-19 admitted ICU (≥18 years). data, information, prescription PP, its frequency...
