Application of Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 and nutrition support in critically ill patients in a Beijing-based hospital / 中华临床营养杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective TO investigate the application of Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and nutrition support in critically ill patients.Methods Totally 172 adult critically ill patients with a hospital stay equal to or above 3 days were consecutively enrolled from a Beijing-hospital from September 2011 to December 2011.Nutrition support was evaluated on a daily basis.NRS 2002,body mass index (BMI),and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evalnation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) were applied to assess the nutritional risks and nutrition status within 24 hours after admission.Results Among all the patients,the rates of nutrition support were 39.5％ and 67.9％ on the 1st and 7th day respectively.The rate of parenteral nutrition (33.6％ ～ 39.5％) was higher than that of enteral nutrition (4.1％ ～ 16.0％).NRS 2002,APACHE Ⅱ score,and BMI showed that 160 patients (93.0％) required nutrition support,but only 103 patients (64.4％) actually received nutrition support,among whom 92 (89.3％) were supplied with nutrition support within 3 days after admission.Conclusions The application of nutrition support in critically ill patients is insufficient in this hospital.Nutrition support is typically provided within 3 days after admission.Parenteral nutrition remains the most common type of nutrition support.
