Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic nutritional index in gastrointestinal surgery
TL;DR: A multiparameter index of nutritional status was defined relating the risk of postoperative complications to baseline nutritional status, providing an accurate, quantitative estimate of operative risk, permitting rational selection of patients to receive preoperative nutritional support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consensus Statement: Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Characteristics Recommended for the Identification and Documentation of Adult Malnutrition (Undernutrition)
TL;DR: The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition recommend that a standardized set of diagnostic characteristics be used to identify and document adult malnutrition in routine clinical practice.

TL;DR: The Department of Veterans Affairs has successfully implemented a system for the prospective collection and comparative reporting of risk-adjusted postoperative mortality rates after major noncardiac operations and risk adjustment had an appreciable impact on the rank ordering of the hospitals and provided a means for monitoring and potentially improving the quality of surgical care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of muscle mass in humans: validity of the 24-hour urinary creatinine method.
TL;DR: While creatinine excretion may serve as a useful approximation of muscle mass in carefully selected subjects, there remains a need for accurate and practical indices of Muscle mass for use in the individuals in whom the method cannot be reliably applied.

Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of malnutrition in general medical patients.
TL;DR: Compared with a similar survey among surgical patients, the medical patients were more depleted calorically but had better protein status (arm-muscle circumference, serum albumin) than the non-medical patients, which is likely to be associated with diminished cell-mediated immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein Status of General Surgical Patients
TL;DR: In a survey of the protein nutritional status of all patients on the surgical wards of an urban municipal hospital, accepted standards indicated moderate to severe protein-calorie malnutrition in one half of these patients as judged by triceps skin fold and arm muscle circumference measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular immunity in semistarved states in hospitalized adults
TL;DR: Adult protein-calorie malnutrition, as reflected by decreased levels of serum albumin and transferrin, was studied in 21 hospitalized patients, and a significant reduction in both total lymphocytes and cellular immunity was found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of optimal hyperalimentation infusion rate.
TL;DR: Most complications related to TPN are well recognized and their incidence can be reduced by the creation of hospital nutritional services that include interested staff, hyperalimentation nurse, therapeutic dietitian, and pharmacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional care of the injured and/or septic patient.
TL;DR: With proper skills in the techniques of protein-calorie therapy and the availability of adequate techniques for nutritional assessment, the science of nutritional therapy now affords the opportunity to provide optimal care for the injured hospitalized patient.
