Evaluation of European nutritionl risk screening method in hospitalized patients of primary hospital / 肠外与肠内营养

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate feasibility of using European Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS2002) for nutritional status assessment in primary hospital.Methods: 799 patients were enrolled in this study.697 patients who were according NRS request were assessed using NRS method in hospitalization day.The patient whose NRS scores were higher than 3 were justified under nutritional risk.102 patients who were not according NRS request were assessed by exeamining the serum albumin(ALB) in the next day.The patients whose serum ALB was lower than 35 g/L were justified malnutrition.Results: There were 697 patients could be evaluated by NRS method.Body Mass Index(BMI) was lower than 18.5 in 159(22.8%) cases and NRS scores were ≥3 in 240 cases(34.4 %) among 697 cases.Serum albumin was lower than 35 g/L in 31 (30.4%) cases among 102 cases who could not be evaluated by NRS method because of incapable of standing up(66/102,64.7%) and ascites or hydrothorax(17/102,16.7%) and concomitance of above-mentioned causes(11/102,10.8%) and coma(8/102,7.8%).Conclusion: Assessment of nutritional status of hospitalized patients in primary hospital using NRS2002 method is feasible.The patients who could not be evaluated by NRS 2002 method can be assessed by assaying serum ALB.
