Nutrition screening tools: Does one size fit all? A systematic review of screening tools for the hospital setting

TL;DR: Not one single screening or assessment tool is capable of adequate nutrition screening as well as predicting poor nutrition related outcome and development of new tools seems redundant and will most probably not lead to new insights.

TL;DR: Sarcopenic obesity and sarcopenia with normal/increased BMI are observed in rheumatoid arthritis, breast cancer patients with adjuvant chemotherapy and in most of patients with COPD or chronic kidney disease, independent of BMI.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Prognostic impact of disease-related malnutrition.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the studies investigating the prognostic implications of disease-related malnutrition and concludes that nutritional assessment is mandatory in order to recognise malnutrition early and initiate timely nutritional therapy.
