EVALUATION OF NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT IN ELDER PATIENTS WITH CONTINUOUS AMBULATORY PERITONEAL DIALYSIS: COMPARING THE MINI NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT (MNA) WITH THE SUBJECT GLOBAL ASSESSMENT (SGA)

Validation of Mini Nutritional Assessment Scale in peritoneal dialysis patients

INTRODUCTION Malnutrition is a negative predictive factor for survival in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Coincidence of malnutrition, inflammation and atherosclerosis (MIA syndrome) in the dialysis population is an exceptionally poor outcome event. Due to flexibility, ease of performance and reproducibility, clinical scales are of particular value in assessment of nutritional status i...

The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) for grading the nutritional state of elderly patients: presentation of the MNA, history and validation.

Comparative nutrition evaluation with the Mini Nutritional Assessment and the Nutritional Risk Assessment Scale.

35 Malnutrition in geriatric hospital inpatients over 75 years old is one of the strongest indicators of a poor outcome, including mortality. A subjective rating of the nutritional status correlated strongly (p ! 0.001) with the subsequent mortality at follow-up times of 6, 18, and 30 months after discharge from hospital. Mortality was twice as high in malnourished patients as in normally nouri...

Evaluation of the mini-nutritional assessment short-form (MNA-SF) among institutionalized older patients in Spain.
