Screening malnutrition in hospital outpatients. Can the SNAQ malnutrition screening tool also be applied to this population?
BACKGROUND & AIMS It is known from earlier studies that only 15% of the malnourished hospital outpatient population is recognized and receives nutritional treatment.

Because such a tool is lacking, we developed one by using the SNAQ (Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire) as a basis. The aim of this stu...

متن کاملSerum prealbumin: Is it a marker of nutritional status or of risk of malnutrition?
Hospitalized patients who are undernourished are more likely to develop clinical complications and have relatively poor outcomes, with increased length of stay (LOS)1 and higher mortality compared with well-nourished patients. Provision of adequate nutritional support reduces the complication rate and improves outcome (1 ). Considerable efforts have therefore been made to identify patients at r...
متن کاملPrealbumin serum concentrations as a useful tool in the assessment of malnutrition in hospitalized patients.
BACKGROUND Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a common condition among patients admitted to hospitals, and it is associated with a worse prognosis and increased mortality. Although several screening systems have been developed, PEM is still poorly recognized, and there is no consensus on which test is more reliable and feasible in clinical practice. Prealbumin (PAB) is a potential useful PEM ...
