Brief Summary:
Observational study. Comparison of existing nutritional screening tools based on questionnaires with blood tests already performed on a routine basis.
No intervention undertaken.
No intervention undertaken.
Detailed Description:
Nutrition screening is of established benefit but is difficult to ensure in ordinary clinical practice. It is relatively labour intensive. The investigation aims to determine whether routinely collected laboratory data could provide comparable information without the need for personnel time. It is known that individual blood tests do not provide sufficient sensitivity or specificity but it is hypothesised that combinations of tests could do so.
Included subjects are those admitted to the University Hospital department of internal medicine. All are eligible other than those subject to protective isolation for infection control (COVID, etc). Data collection is in the form of questionnaires to permit the calculation of 3 tools widely used for screening for malnutrition and malnutrition risk, namely the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), the Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) and the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). Nutritional status is documented by the patient's status according to the international definition provided by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM).
The blood tests already performed on a routine basis are captured to go alongside the nutrition screening tools.
Analysis will aim to determine whether combinations of laboratory data can simulate or replicate the information provided by MUST and NRS2002.
