About this study

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Identifying malnourishment according to the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002

    Time frame: First 48 hours of hospitalization

    The results of the 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.

  2. Identifying malnourishment according to the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA)

    Time frame: First 48 hours of hospitalization

    The results of the 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).

  3. Compare the results of two screening tools.

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

    Compare the results of NRS-2002 and SGA tools on predicting malnutrition and nutritional status of patients.
