Screening Nutritional Status of Hospitalized Patients

Screening Nutritional Status of Hospitalized Patients With Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 and Subjective Global Assessment Tools

This study investigated the results of the nutritional status of hospitalized patients with Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) screening and compared the effects of two screening method in predicting malnutrition.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Malnourishment
• Intervention / Treatment: Diagnostic test: Nutritional screening

Detailed Description

In the cross-sectional study demographic data, body mass index (BMI), length of hospital stay (LOS), and cause of hospitalization of hospitalized patients were recorded. For the nutritional assessment all patients were screened with NRS 2002 and SGA within the first days of admission to the patients. The primary predictors of interest in our study were the NRS 2002 and SGA results of patients.

Intervention / Treatment

Hospitalized non-critical services patients; Patients, who were hospitalized in the clinics (hematology, neurology, gastroenterology, nephrology, endocrine, pulmonary disease and cardiology) of Malatya Training and Research Hospital, were screened both Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) tools within the first days of admission to the patients. The nutritional status of patients categorized according the screening tools. Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) : The patients were classified as being nutritionally risk (NRS+): total score ≥ 3 or nutritionally risk-free (NRS-): total score < 3 according to NRS 2002 results. Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) The SGA screening provides three alternative categories for nutritional classification: well nourished (A); mild-to-moderately malnourished (B); or severely malnourished (C).
