In this paper, the authors focused on determining whether malnutrition diagnosed by validated nutrition assessment tools such as the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) or Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is independently associated with poorer clinical outcomes in the ICU and if the use of nutrition screening tools demonstrate a similar association.
Abstract
Malnutrition is associated with poor clinical outcomes among hospitalized patients. However, studies linking malnutrition with poor clinical outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU) often have conflicting findings due in part to the inappropriate diagnosis of malnutrition. We primarily aimed to determine whether malnutrition diagnosed by validated nutrition assessment tools such as the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) or Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is independently associated with poorer clinical outcomes in the ICU and if the use of nutrition screening tools demonstrate a similar association. PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for eligible studies. Search terms included were synonyms of malnutrition, nutritional status, screening, assessment, and intensive care unit. Eligible studies were case-control or cohort studies that recruited adults in the ICU; conducted the SGA, MNA, or used nutrition screening tools before or within 48 hours of ICU admission; and ...

Multivariate analysis of factors associated with first-pass success in blind placement of a post-pyloric feeding tube: a retrospective study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored factors associated with first-pass success in the blind placement of post-pyloric enteral feeding tubes in critically ill patients, and found that the position of the greater curvature of the stomach caudal to L1-L2 may be associated with a lower first pass success rate of the blind method for post-Pyloric feeding tube placement.

What is subjective global assessment of nutritional status

TL;DR: It is concluded that SGA can easily be taught to a variety of clinicians (residents, nurses), and that this technique is reproducible.

Nutritional risk screening (NRS 2002): a new method based on an analysis of controlled clinical trials.

TL;DR: The screening system appears to be able to distinguish between trials with a positive effect vs no effect, and it can therefore probably also identify patients who are likely to benefit from nutritional support.

Screening for Undernutrition in Geriatric Practice Developing the Short-Form Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA-SF)

TL;DR: The Mini-Nutritional Assessment can identify persons with undernutrition and can be used in a two-step screening process in which persons, identified as "at risk" on the MNA-SF, would receive additional assessment to confirm the diagnosis and plan interventions.

The impact of malnutrition on morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay and costs evaluated through a multivariate model analysis.

TL;DR: It was concluded that malnutrition, as analyzed by a multivariate logistic regression model, is an independent risk factor impacting on higher complications and increased mortality, length of hospital stay and costs.
