Brief Summary
In several hospital clinical trials, the nutritional intervention has been proven to be effective in preventing and/or reducing malnutrition. Therefore, a procedure to identify the risk of malnutrition or malnourishment in hospitalized patients is necessary to guarantee an adequate and timely nutritional treatment. Aims: to compare two validated nutritional screening tools: NRS 2002 and SGA. These are used to identify the risk of malnutrition or malnourishment in hospitalized patients. Patients and Methods: The study is currently carried out at the Federico II University Hospital of Naples, Italy. The in patients admitted in the Clinical Wards since September 2016 are being evaluated. The two screening test results and the assessment of the patients' parameters are collected within 72 hours following admission. Age, sex, height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), calf circumference and dominant hand of the participants are being noted. Venous blood samples are collected for routine biochemistry and inflammatory parameters ; all measurements are determined by routine laboratory methods at the Department of Laboratory Medicine of the University Hospital Federico II, Naples.
