ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The early identification of nutritional risk is essential for the earliest possible implementation of nutritional therapy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between nutritional risk and the incidence of clinical complications. An observational study was conducted at the internal medicine infirmary of a Brazilian public hospital involving patients admitted between January 2016 and December 2017. The NRS-2002, anthropometrics and laboratory exams (initial and final) were used for the evaluation of nutritional risk. The prevalence of nutritional risk was 63.6%. Nutritional risk upon admission to hospital was associated with the occurrence of complications, a longer hospitalization time and death. In correlation analysis, considering anthropometrics and laboratory exams compared to hospitalization time and time elapsed prior to the onset of the diet, serum albumin was inversely correlated with both hospitalization time and nutritional risk. Based on the present findings, knowledge on the nutritional status of patients and adequate nutritional therapy can lead to fewer complications during hospitalization.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN La identificación del riesgo nutricional precoz es esencial para que un procedimiento nutricional sea implementado. El objetivo fue evaluar la asociación entre el riesgo nutricional con incidencia de complicaciones clínicas. Estudio observacional, realizado en la enfermería de una clínica médica de un hospital público brasileño, con pacientes admitidos entre enero de 2016 y diciembre de 2017. Para evaluación nutricional, se utilizaron la NRS-2002, antropometría y análisis laboratoriales inicial y final. La frecuencia de riesgo nutricional fue del 63,6%. El riesgo nutricional en la admisión se mostró asociado a incidencia de complicaciones, mayor tiempo de hospitalización y muerte. La albúmina sérica mostró una correlación inversa con el tiempo de internamiento y riesgo nutricional. Se concluye que el conocer el estado nutricional de los pacientes y el acompañamiento nutricional adecuado minimizará las complicaciones durante el internamiento.
