Prevalence of #Malnutrition Risk and the Impact of Nutrition Risk on #Hospital Outcomes: Results From nutritionDay in the U.S.
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jpen.1499
The overall prevalence of malnutrition risk (MST score ≥2) was 32.7%. On nutritionDay, 32.1% of patients ate a quarter of their meal or less. Hospital mortality hazard ratio was 3.24 (95% CI: 1.73, 6.07; P‐value < 0.001) for patients eating a quarter compared with those who ate all their meal and increased to 5.99 (95% CI: 3.03, 11.84; P‐value < 0.0001) for patients eating nothing despite being allowed to eat.
Conclusion
This study provides the most robust estimate of malnutrition risk in U.S. hospitalized patients to date, finding that approximately 1 in 3 are at risk. Additionally, patients who have diminished meal intake experience increased mortality risk. These results highlight the ongoing issue of malnutrition in the hospital setting.

Malnutrition is associated with poor prognosis in a wide range of illnesses. However, its prognostic impact in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is not well known.. ..In this study, the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), and the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) was applied to 5,062 consecutive patients with ACS. The relationships between malnutrition risk and all-cause mortality and major …
