Background: A comprehensive nutrition assessment needs to be done on all hospitalized patients. The accuracy of nutritional assessment are necessary to ensure the provision of optimal nutrition support for the patient to prevent iatrogenic malnutrition and speed up the healing process. The nutrition screening tools has limited ability to be used as a valid indicator for comprehensive nutritional assessment. Thus, it is necessary to develop a new nutrition screening tool.Objective: To develop a simple, quick and valid malnutrition screening tool that can be used to identify adult patients at risk of malnutrition.Methods: This is an observational study with cross sectional design. The subjects were 495 patients admitted to Sardjito General Hospital, excluding paediatric, maternity, and psychiatric patients. All patients were screened using the Nutrition Screening Tool of University Gadjah Mada (NST-UGM). The validity of the NST-UGM will be tested by measuring the sensitivity and specifi city value compared to Subjective Global Assessment (SGA).Result: The newly developed nutrition screening tool consisted of 6 questions with a cut-off of 0-2 classifi ed as not at risk of malnutrition and > 2 classifi ed as at risk of malnutrition. The sensitivity and specifi city value of the new screening tool compared with SGA were 91.28 and 79.78 respectively. Therefore, the convergent and predictive validity of NSTUGM was established. Conclusion: The NST-UGM is a simple, quick and valid tool which can be used to identify patients at risk of malnutrition.

Abstract Background It is recommended to screen hospitalized children to identify those at risk of malnutrition. Constricted schedule in tertiary care settings calls for the needs of a less burdensome yet effective nutrition screening tool. This study aimed to validate the use of Paediatric Nutrition Screening Tool (PNST) among hospitalized children in a Malaysian tertiary hospital. Methods This cross-sectional study recruited children below 18 years old admitting into general paediatric ward in a public hospital. The PNST and Subjective Global Nutritional Assessment (SGNA) were performed on 100 children (64 boys and 36 girls). The objective measurements include anthropometry (z-scores for weight, height and body mass index), dietary history and biochemical markers were measured. These were used to classify malnutrition as per Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics/American Society of Parental and Enteral Nutrition (AND/ASPEN) Consensus Statement for identification of paediatric malnutrition and WHO growth standards for children. Cohen’s kappa was computed to report the level of agreement. Results The PNST identified 57% of hospitalized children as being at risk of malnutrition. In this study, there was a stronger agreement between PNST with AND/ASPEN malnutrition classification (k = 0.602) as when PNST was compared with WHO (k = 0.225) and SGNA (k = 0.431). The PNST shows higher specificity (85.29%) and sensitivity (78.79%) when compared with AND/ASPEN than with WHO malnutrition criteria (55.81% specificity and 66.67% sensitivity). Conclusion This study showed the usefulness of routine use of PNST for screening the malnutrition risk of hospitalized children in Malaysian tertiary hospital settings.

Background: It is necessary to diagnose level of malnutrition in hospitalized patient to give optimal nutrition support. Many different nutrition screening assessment have been developed. In Indonesia, Simple Nutrition Screening Tool (SNST) that had been used in same hospital and the result was good enough in validity-realibility.Objective: To assessed that SNST were simple and practical nutrition screening tool for detecting level of malnutrition in different type of hospitalized patient.Method: Observational cross-sectional design with total of sampling two hundred and eighty seven adult patients from 2nd and 3rd class of surgical, internal, or neurology ward of RSUD Sleman. Independent variables are SNST, Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) 2002, Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST), and Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST). Dependent variables are Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), body mass index (BMI), mid upper arm circumference (MUAC), and hemoglobin (Hb). Receive Operating Curve (ROC) were used for measuring validity of each screening tools. The proportion difference between at-risk group and not at-risk group was assessed by Chi-square test. The mean difference of BMI, MUAC, and Hb between both of group was assessed by independent sample t-test.Results: SNST has highest validity compared to NRS-2002, MST, and MUST with Sensitivity 99,0%, Specificity 84,5 and Area Under Curve (AUC) 0,917. Based on SNST, the proportion difference of at-risk group and not at-risk group between surgical patients and internal-neurology patients was statistically significant (p<0,05); the proportion difference of at-risk group and not at-risk group between young adult, adult, and elderly patients was statistically significant (p<0,05); the mean difference of BMI, MUAC, and Hb between at-risk group and not at-risk group was also statistically significant (p<0,05).Conclusion: All of the nutrition screening tools can be used as predictor of malnutrition in hospitalized patients but, the SNST has the best validity as a nutrition screening to predict malnutrition.

AbstractCancer is the third leading cause of death in Kenya. However, there is scarce information on the nutritional status of cancer patients to guide in decision making. The present study sought to assess the risk of malnutrition, and factors associated with malnutrition and cachexia, among cancer out-patients, with the aim of informing nutrition programmes for cancer management in Kenya and beyond. This was a facility-based cross-sectional study performed at Kenyatta National Hospital and Texas Cancer Centre in Nairobi, Kenya. The risk of malnutrition was assessed using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST). Diagnoses of malnutrition and cachexia were done using the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and Fearon criteria, respectively. A total of 512 participants were assessed. Those at risk of malnutrition were 33·1 % (12·5 % at medium risk, 20·6 % at high risk). Prevalence of malnutrition was 13·4 %. The overall weight loss >5 % over 3 months was 18·2 % and low fat-free mass index was 43·1 %. Prevalence of cachexia was 14·1 % compared with 8·5 % obtained using the local criteria. Only 18·6 % participants had received any form of nutrition services. Age was a predictor of malnutrition and cachexia in addition to site of cancer for malnutrition and cigarette smoking for cachexia. The use of the MUST as a screening tool at the first point of care should be explored. The predictive value of current nutrition assessment tools, and the local diagnostic criteria for malnutrition and cachexia should be reassessed to inform the development of appropriate clinical guidelines and future capacity-building initiatives that will ensure the correct identification of patients at risk for timely care.

Introduction: Emergency Department (ED) fall risk screening has been newly implemented in Alberta based on Accreditation Canada requirements. Two existing inpatient tools failed to include certain ED risk conditions. One tool graded unconsciousness as no risk for falling, and neither considered intoxication or sedation. This led to the development of a new fall risk management screening tool, the FRM (Tool1). This study compared Tool1 with inpatient utilized Schmid Fall Risk Assessment Tool (Tool2) and the validated Hendrich II Fall Risk Model (Tool3). Methods: Patients (≥17 years old) in a tertiary care adult ED with any of the following; history of falling in the last 12 months, elderly/frail, incontinence, impaired gait, mobility assist device, confusion/disorientation, procedural sedation, intoxication/sedated, or unconscious were included. Forms were randomized to score patients using different paired screening tools: Tool1 paired with either Tool2 or Tool3. Percent agreement (PA) between the tools based on identification of a patient at either risk/no risk for falling; higher PA indicating more tool homogeneity. Results: A total of 928 screening forms were completed within our 8-week study period; 452 and 443 comparing Tool1 to Tool2 and Tool1 to Tool3, respectively. Thirty-two forms included only Tool1 scores, excluding them from comparative analysis. The average patient age (n=895) was 64.8±21.4 years. Tool1 identified 66.4% of patients at risk, whereas Tool2 and Tool3 identified only 19.2% and 31.4%, respectively. Tool1 and 2 had a PA of 50.2%, whereas Tool1 and Tool3 had a PA of 65.9%. Conclusion: The FRM tool had higher agreement with the validated assessment tool, identifying patients at risk for falling but better identified patients presenting with intoxication, need for procedural sedation and unconsciousness. The other tools generally miss these common ED conditions, putting these patients at risk. Validation and reliability assessments of the FRM tool are warranted.

Background: Nutritional screening, intervention and assessment in patients with undernutrition are key components of any nutritional care. The goal of any nutritional assessment is to determine the specific nutritional risk(s). Presently, there are no guidelines on any ideal screening tool to be used on admission for identification of children that are at risk of developing malnutrition during their hospital stay. The objective of the study was to develop a valid and simple nutritional screening tool which can be used on hospital admission to identify pediatric patients at risk of malnutrition. Methods: This study was cross sectional analytical that enrolled children (n:161) admitted with acute illness to the general wards at Cairo University Children Hospitals (CUCH). The answers to the developed questionnaire were compared to the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), those with high accuracy (≥80%) were used for validity with anthropometric measures. Results: In the ‘less than two years of age’ group, the simple and valid nutritional screening tools were the following questions: (Is there a problem during breast-feeding?), (Is there scanty breast milk?), (Is there appetite loss?). The simple and valid nutritional screening tools during the ‘early childhood’ group were the following questions: (Is there appetite loss?), (Is there any skipping of meals?), (Are they watching TV, videotapes and/or playing computer games for more than two hours/day?). The simple and valid  nutritional screening tools during the ‘late childhood’ group were the following questions: (Is there appetite loss?), (Are they watching TV, videotapes and/or playing computer games for more than two hours/day?). Conclusion: The simple and valid nutritional screening tools differ according to age groups. The one which is valid in all ages is the question about the appetite loss.

Introduction: Malnutrition is one of the most common complications of liver cirrhosis. Yet, little attention is paid in evaluating nutrition in this group of patients. This study aims to assess malnutrition among cirrhotic patients using a nutrition screening tool and anthropometry. Methods: This was a prospective, observational study of admitted patients with liver cirrhosis. In the study duration of 3months, 50 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included. Nutritional assessment was performed using the Royal Free Hospital Nutritional Prioritizing Tool (RFH-NPT), BMI and standard anthropometry including TSF,MUAC and MAMC. Results: The mean age was 51.56 ± 11.50 with a Male to Female ratio of 3:2. Chronic alcohol consumption (72%) was the most common etiology while management of tense as cites (40%) was the most common reason for hospital admission. 58% had Child Pugh Class C cirrhosis while the remaining 42% were Class B. The average MELD Nascore was 19.64 ± 6. Significant differences in anthropometric measurements including BMI, MUAC, TSF and MAMC were found between Child B and C cirrhosis. Similarly, those patients who had low, moderate and high-risk of malnutrition by the RFH-NPT had significant differences in anthropometric measurements between them. Conclusion: A significant number of patients had moderate to severe risk of malnutrition that correlated well with anthropometric measurements. The degree of malnutrition is parallel with the severity of liver disease among these patients. Both the RFH-NPT and anthropometry are relatively easy to perform and effective. Hence, they can be used as a practical means for identifying malnutrition among cirrhotic patients in routine clinical practice.

Abstract Background and Aims: The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria is a new framework for diagnosing malnutrition in combination of phenotypic and etiologic criteria after nutrition screening using validated screening tools. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of malnutrition screening tool (MST), malnutrition universal screening tool (MUST) and nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS2002) as the first step of GLIM framework in comparison to Patients-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) in Chinese ambulatory cancer patients.Methods: A single-center prospective cross-sectional study was conducted. Nutritional screening and assessment were performed within 4h after admission to the hospital using a structured questionnaire including MST, MUST, NRS2002, PG-SGA and GLIM, with supplement information of calf circumference (CC) measurement and body composition measurement using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Malnutrition diagnosis made by GLIM framework using MST, MUST or NRS2002 as the first step or without screening step were compared to PG-SGA separately. Sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values and κ values were used to evaluate performance of the screening tools.Results: Of the 562 included patients, Of the participants 62.8% (355/562) were male and 37.2% (210/562) were female, with a male to female radio of 1.69:1. The median age of the patients was 59.0 years (range, 21-82y; interquels range 52.0-65.0y). From the 562 patients included in the study, 41.8% of patients were evaluated as malnutrition (PG-SGA≥4) and 11.9% were diagnosed as severe malnutrition (PG-SGA D). For GLIM criteria, omitting the screening step yielded fair accordance with PG-SGA in diagnosing malnutrition (κ=0.623) and severe malnutrition (κ=0.515). Using MUST as the first step of GLIM framework has better performance (κ=0.614; κ=0.515) than using MST (κ=0.504, κ=0.496) or NRS2002 (κ=0.363, κ=0.503) as the screening tool regardless of severity gradings.Conclusions: Using PG-SGA as the standard, GLIM framework omitting first step has better performance compared with using MST, MUST or NRS2002 as the screening tool. Among the screening tools validated to be used in the first step of GLIM framework, MUST may be the better choice for ambulatory cancer patients.

Background: Various screening tools are used to identify elderly individuals who are malnourished or at risk for malnutrition based on their nutritional status. Anthropometric measurements are important indicators of an individual’s nutritional status. In this study, we aimed to establish anthropometric standards for the Turkish elderly population and to investigate any significant relationship between anthropometric characteristics and nutritional status. Materials and Methods: Age, sex, weight, height, waist-to-hipratio (WHR) and body massindex (BMI) were recorded. We also administered the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and a hand grip test. Results: In our study, 72% of males and 84% of females were in the overweight group, 24% of males and 16% of females were in the normal weight group, and only 4% of males were in theweak group. For males, 76% were not at risk for malnutrition, 20% were at risk, and 4% were determined to have malnutrition. For females, 68% were not at risk for malnutrition, and 32% were at risk. There were no females who had malnutrition. With regard to muscle strength, 80% of males and 92% of females did not have sufficient strength. Weight, grip strength and WHR were significantly related to MNA (p < 0.05). Conclusion: We provided sex-specific distributions for many anthropometric measurements for the elderly which can be used as reference values for the Turkish elderly population to identify individuals at greater risk for nutritional disorders.
