Prevalence of hospital malnutrition in cancer patients: a sub-analysis of the PREDyCES® study
Open accessAbstract
PurposeIn oncology patients, hospital malnutrition is associated with a greater risk of morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of nutritional risk and the clinical and economic consequences of hospital malnutrition in oncology patients hospitalised in Spanish centres.MethodsThis was an observational, cross-sectional, multicentre study. The prevalence of nutritional risk was determined using the Nutrition Risk Screening®-2002 (NRS®-2002).ResultsFour hundred one oncology patients were included; 33.9 % (136/401) were at nutritional risk (NRS®-2002 ≥ 3) at admission and 36.4 % (135/371) at discharge. On average, patients at nutritional risk were more elderly and had lower weights, body mass indices and arm and calf circumferences, as well as lower serum albumin levels than patients not at risk. Mean duration of hospitalisation and healthcare costs were greater in patients at nutritional risk at discharge (12.1 days; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 10.83–13.39) than in well-nourished patients (8.6 days; 95 % CI 7.86–9.40). Only a third of the patients at risk of malnutrition at discharge had received any kind of nutritional support.ConclusionsThis study shows that hospital malnutrition is a prevalent and undertreated condition in oncology patients that is associated with longer hospital stays and increased healthcare costs.

“Ten of the 15 studies used validated tools,; however, three relied on screening tools.(29,40,41) The remaining seven studies used three different nutritional assessment tools (MNA, SGA and AND/ASPEN).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
