Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the presence of nutritional risk and their correlation with clinical outcome in elderly hospitalized patients. Methods: The study variables were weight, height, body mass index (BMI), nutritional risk, length of stay and death of hospitalized patients in a public hospital in São Paulo. These data were obtained by Sheet Nutritional Care, dietitians completed by the institution. Nutritional risk was determined by nutritional screening tool NRS-2002. To investigate the association between the presence of nutritional risk and other study variables, we used Rao & Scott test and multiple logistic regression (stepwise forward), with 5% significance level. It proceeded to univariate analysis, and variables with p <0.20, in ascending order of entry were included in multiple regression. They remained in the model the variables with p <0.05, or those set by at least 10% the value of odds ratio of other variables. Results: We evaluated the records of 2613 patients, with a mean age of 73.87 years, 54.84% female, 47.26% of the population were at nutritional risk and 37.3% undernutrition. The nutritional risk groups according to age showed that the greater the age, the prevalence greater risk for malnutrition. There was a good statistical correlation with BMI, because the risk was more prevalent in malnourished group (54.41%). It was found that 11.9% of those who had died nutritional risk, while those who did not risk, only 1.66%. Conclusion: From this study it was found that for older people studied the risk for malnutrition correlated positively with age, BMI, length of stay and the occurrence of deaths.

Abstract Background: The purpose of the present study was to retrospectively analyze the relationship between nutrition and cancer in elderly hospitalized patients. Methods: A total of 339 elderly patients were divided into cancer and non-cancer groups. Information regarding nutritional blood parameters (NBP), including TP, ALB, PA, TLC, and Hb; nutritional risk screening (NRS), including ADL, MNA-SF, WST; and polypharmacy was collected and analyzed.Results: Among the 339 patients, 94 (27.7%) were women, 81 (23.9%) were cancer patients, and 258 (76.1%) were non-cancer patients. Overall, 25.3% of patients were malnourished. Patients in the cancer group were younger, with higher rates of inflammation, lower rates of polypharmacy and swallow dysfunction, increased ADL, and decreased MNA-SF score. The BMI, TP, PA, Hb, and TLC were notably decreased in cancer patients. The MNA-SF score had a positive correlation with BMI, TP, ALB, PA, Hb, TLC, and ADL, but a negative correlation with CRP, WST score, polypharmacy, and age. Conclusion: There was a close relationship between nutritional status and cancer in elderly patients. Geriatric patients with cancer were more prone to a poor nutritional status. Nutritional screening, assessment, and intervention should be increased to improve the prognosis in cancer patients.

This article assesses nutritional care in identifying and treating nutritional risk in elderly hospitalized patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted at a large Norwegian University hospital in the period 2011 to 2013. Data on nutritional risk and care for elderly patients (≥70 years) without dementia were collected at 20 wards by 173 second-year nursing students in acute-care clinical studies. A stratified sampling technique was utilized to improve the representativeness of the sample. In total, 508 patients (48.8% women) with a mean age of 79.6 years participated. The internationally and nationally recommended nutritional care was not implemented at the hospital, suggesting that nutritional care for elderly hospitalized patients was not adequate. This implies that the majority of the elderly patients nutritionally at risk are neither identified nor treated according to their needs. The article highlights the importance of having systematic nutritional care practices to make it possible for the hospital ward staff to routinely identify nutritional risk and initiate appropriate nutritional treatment measures.

Nutritional Risk Screening

Purpose: To investigate the nutritional status of patients on admission and during hospital stay, the factors leading to weight loss, and to evaluate patient satisfaction of hospital food. Methods: On admission, Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002), weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI), mid upper arm circumference (MAC) measurements were carried out; serum total protein and albumin levels were recorded. Upon discharge, measurements of weight, MAC were repeated, along with a food satisfaction questionnaire. Results: Patients with NRS-2002>3, BMI<20, were classified as nutrionally at risk which were 43.6% and 9.4% respectively. Of the patients, 77% lost weight (2.6±1.9 kg). Patients who were determined to be malnourished on admission by BMI and NRS-2002 stayed longer in hospital (p<0.0 and p<0.001, respectively). The relationships between weight loss and lenght of stay, use of medications and period of starvation were significant (p<0.0001, for each). Of the patients, 49.9% did not satisfy with the hospital food. Conclusions: Nutritional status of hospitalized patients should be screened with NRS-2002, assessed and monitored. Keywords: NRS-2002, hospital malnutrition, hospital food services
