Dos Santos JG, Saueressig C, Wolf R, Dos Santos JC, Silva FM, Franzosi OS, Alba VD. Identifying nutrition risk in emergency patients: What is the most appropriate screening tool? Nutr Clin Pract 2024; 39:911-919. [PMID: 38575550 DOI: 10.1002/ncp.11147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The emergency department (ED) is the most frequent access route to the hospital. Nutrition risk (NR) screening allows the early identification of patients at risk of malnutrition. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and predictive validity of five different tools in EDs: Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002), Nutritional Risk Emergency 2017 (NRE-2017), Royal Free Hospital-Nutritional Prioritizing Tool (RFH-NPT), Malnutrition Universal Screening (MUST), and Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST). METHODS Patients with scores ≥3 according to the NRS-2002, ≥1.5 according to the NRE-2017, and ≥2 according to the MUST, RFH-NPT, or MST were classified with NR. Prolonged length of stay (LOS) and 1-year mortality were evaluated. RESULTS 431 patients were evaluated (57.31 ± 15.6 years of age; 54.4% women) in a public hospital in southern Brazil. The prevalence of NR was: 35% according to the NRS-2002, 43% according to the MST, 45% according to the NRE-2017 and MUST, and 49% according to the RFH-NPT. Patients with NR, had a greater risk of prolonged LOS (P < 0.001). The presence of NR was associated with an increased risk of 1-year mortality according to the NRS-2002 (hazard ratio [HR]: 4.04; 95% CI, 2.513-6.503), MST (HR: 2.60; 95% CI, 1.701-3.996), NRE-2017 (HR: 4.82; 95% CI, 2.753-8.443), MUST (HR: 4.00; 95% CI, 2.385-6.710), and RFH-NPT (HR: 5.43; 95% CI, 2.984-9.907). CONCLUSIONS NRE-2017 does not require objective data and presented predictive validity for all outcomes assessed, regardless of the severity of the disease, and thus appears to be the most appropriate tool for carrying out NR screening in the ED.

Abstract
Background Sarcopenia is common in patients with liver cirrhosis and is an independent predictor of multiple clinical outcomes. Most studies to date have used a static assessment of sarcopenia. However, there is very limited data evaluating the temporal course of muscle area in cirrhosis. To bridge this gap in clinical studies, we performed a longitudinal analysis to evaluate the impact of changes in sarcopenia for cirrhotic patients. Methods Adult patients with clinically diagnosed liver cirrhosis who underwent at least 2 abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans in the hospital were enrolled. The interval between the two abdominal scans was 6 ± 1 months. Patients were categorized into persistent non-sarcopenia, new-onset sarcopenia, sarcopenia to non-sarcopenia, and persistent sarcopenia based on changes in sarcopenia. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank tests were used to separately compare unadjusted survival curves by different statuses of sarcopenia. Cox regression analysis was performed to assess the associations between different states of sarcopenia and overall mortality. The association between persistent non-sarcopenia and new-onset sarcopenia was analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 307 patients were included for analysis. At the second assessment, 10.10% (31/307) patients were new-onset sarcopenia, 27.69% (85/307) with persistent sarcopenia status, while 13.03% (40/307) patients with sarcopenia developed non-sarcopenia and 49.19% (151/307) with persistent non-sarcopenia status. The overall survival rate was significantly lower in the persistent sarcopenia and new-onset sarcopenia than in the non-sarcopenia group and sarcopenia to non-sarcopenia group (p < 0.001). Persistent sarcopenia (HR 5.799, 95%CI 1.563-21.521, p = 0.009) and new onset sarcopenia (HR 5.205, 95%CI 1.482-18.282, p = 0.010) were identified as poor prognostic factors for cirrhotic patients. The etiology of cirrhosis and the initial skeletal muscle mass were independent risk factors for new-onset sarcopenia. Conclusion Sarcopenia is a dynamically changing process in patients with cirrhosis. Persistent and new-onset sarcopenia were independently and robustly associated with overall survival.

Abstract
Aims The Royal Free Hospital Nutritional Prioritizing Tool (RFH-NPT), the Liver Disease Undernutrition Screening Tool (LDUST) and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) were used by nurses to screen, compare, and analyze the nutritional status of patients with liver cirrhosis. The application value of different screening tools was summarized in the nutritional screening of patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods In this study, LDUST, RFH-NPT, and NRS2002 were used by nurses to screen the nutritional status of hospitalized patients with liver cirrhosis within 24-48 h after admission. The study calculated validity indicators such as sensitivity, specificity, the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC), and reliability indicators such as the Kappa coefficient. The efficacy of these screening tools in the nutritional screening of patients with liver cirrhosis was compared. Results Among the 207 patients, LDUST and NRS2002 identified 72.9 % and 23.7 % as undernourished, respectively. The sensitivity of LDUST and NRS2002 were 92.1 % and 30.0 %, respectively. The Kappa value of LDUST and RFH-NPT was 0.620, and the Kappa value of LDUST compared with NRS2002 was 0.144. Conclusion This study shows that the Liver Disease Undernutrition Screening Tool, a special screening tool for patients with liver cirrhosis, has a more reliable screening effect and higher sensitivity than NRS2002. The Liver Disease Undernutrition Screening Tool is recommended for nutritional screening in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is highly prevalent and associated with complications and mortality in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS This was a prospective observational study. Patients with cirrhosis were screened using the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002, the Royal Free Hospital-Nutritional Prioritizing Tool and the Skeletal Muscle Index. Then, the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and consistency with the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria results were calculated. We also analysed the association between nutritional status and short-term prognosis. RESULTS We enrolled 125 patients with cirrhosis, of whom 59.20% and 60.00% were malnourished based on the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria and Skeletal Muscle Index. Some 53.60% and 65.60%, respectively, were classified medium-to-high nutritional risk by Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 and the Royal Free Hospital-Nutritional Prioritizing Tool. The Royal Free Hospital-Nutritional Prioritizing Tool had the best predictive value, and it was more sensitive and had a better negative predictive value than the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 Tool. The Skeletal Muscle Index also had good sensitivity and predictive value. The Royal Free Hospital-Nutritional Prioritizing Tool, Skeletal Muscle Index and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria showed high concordance. The 3- and 6-month mortality rates were significantly higher for patients with moderate-to-high nutritional risk or malnutrition, regardless of the tool. CONCLUSIONS When assessing cirrhosis with the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria, the Royal Free Hospital-Nutritional Prioritizing Tool is best for nutritional screening and the Skeletal Muscle Index is also a good nutritional assessment tool.

Abstract
AIM Malnutrition is prevalent in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, linked to poor outcomes, necessitating early intervention. This study aimed to investigate malnutrition in HCC patients, assess Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) vs. Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, and identify independent risk factors. METHOD A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted on 207 patients with HCC. Nutritional screening/assessment results and blood samples were collected within 72 h of admission. This study assessed the prevalence of malnutrition using the NRS-2002 and PG-SGA and retrospectively using the GLIM criteria. The performance of the screening tools was evaluated using kappa (K) values. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine whether laboratory parameters were associated with malnutrition as identified by the GLIM criteria. RESULTS Of the participants, 30.4% were at risk of malnutrition according to NRS-2002. The agreement between the NRS-2002 and GLIM criteria was substantial. The GLIM criteria and PG-SGA diagnosed malnutrition in 43 and 54.6% of the participants, respectively. Age, anemia, and ascites correlated with malnutrition in regression. CONCLUSION The GLIM criteria, along with NRS-2002 and PG-SGA, aid in diagnosing malnutrition in HCC patients. Recognizing risk factors improves accuracy, enabling timely interventions for better outcomes.

Abstract
Chronic liver diseases, especially cirrhosis, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Besides predisposing to chronic liver disease per se, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia worsen the prognosis of patients with cirrhosis induced by other causes. There is no standard of care in the management of these factors in patients with cirrhosis. Also, in particular, it is not known whether nutritional interventions in the modification of cardiometabolic factors can improve the course of cirrhosis or not. This narrative review aimed to investigate the clinical significance of diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia and appropriate nutritional interventions in cirrhotic patients. A comprehensive literature search of the published data was performed in regard to the association of cirrhosis with cardiometabolic factors and the management of cirrhosis and its complications. There is limited evidence on the association of cirrhosis with cardiometabolic risk factors. Cirrhotic cardiometabolic abnormalities are associated with an increased risk of complications, such that the coexistence of diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia increases the risk of clinical decompensation in cirrhosis. Dietary management of cirrhotic patients with risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidemia does not seem to be considerably different from non-cirrhotic patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) is a framework aiming to standardize malnutrition diagnosis. However, it still needs to be validated, in particular for patients with chronic liver disease. This study aimed to validate the GLIM criteria in patients with liver cirrhosis awaiting liver transplant (LTx). METHODS This was a retrospective observational study carried out with adult patients on the waiting list for LTx, consecutively evaluated between 2006 and 2021. The phenotypic criteria were unintentional weight loss, low body mass index, and reduced muscle mass (midarm muscle circumference [MAMC]). The etiologic criteria were high Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) and MELD adjusted for serum sodium (MELD-Na) scores, the Child-Pugh score, low serum albumin, and low food intake and/or assimilation. Forty-three GLIM combinations were tested. Sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), positive and negative predictive values, and machine learning (ML) techniques were used. Survival analysis with Cox regression was carried out. RESULTS A total of 419 patients with advanced liver cirrhosis were included (median age, 52.0 y [46-59 y]; 69.2% male; 68.8% malnourished according to the Subjective Global Assessment [SGA]). The prevalence of malnutrition by the GLIM criteria ranged from 3.1% to 58.2%, and five combinations had SE or SP >80%. The MAMC as a phenotypic criterion with MELD and MELD-Na as etiologic criteria were predictors of mortality. The MAMC and the presence of any phenotypic criteria associated with liver disease parameters and low food intake or assimilation were associated with malnutrition prediction in ML analysis. CONCLUSIONS The MAMC and liver disease parameters were associated with malnutrition diagnosis by SGA and were also predictors of 1-y mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis awaiting LTx.

Prevalence of malnutrition based on global leadership initiative in malnutrition criteria for completeness of diagnosis and future risk of malnutrition based on current malnutrition diagnosis: systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1174945. [PMID: 37469547 PMCID: PMC10352804 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1174945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The proposal of the global leadership initiative in malnutrition (GLIM) criteria has received great attention from clinicians. The criteria are mainly used in the research environment and have the potential to be widely used in the clinic in the future. However, the prevalence of malnutrition and risk of future malnutrition based on a current diagnosis of malnutrition are worth exploring. Methods A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was performed from the earliest available date to 1 February 2023. According to the diagnostic criteria of the GLIM, we analysed the prevalence of malnutrition by directly adopting the GLIM criteria for diagnosis without a previous nutritional risk screening (one-step approach) and by adopting the GLIM criteria for diagnosis after a nutritional risk screening (two-step approach). The main outcome was the prevalence of malnutrition based on the one-and two-step approaches. Secondary outcomes were the future risk of malnutrition based on the GLIM diagnosis, including mortality within and beyond 1 year. primary outcomes were pooled using random-effects models, and secondary outcomes are presented as hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results A total of 64 articles were included in the study, including a total of 47,654 adult hospitalized patients and 15,089 malnourished patients based on the GLIM criteria. Malnutrition was diagnosed by the one-step approach in 18 studies and by the two-step approach in 46 studies. The prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed by the one-and two-step approaches was 53% (95% CI, 42%-64%) and 39% (95% CI, 0.35%-0.43%), respectively. The prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed by the GLIM criteria after a nutritional risk screening was quite different; the prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed by the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) GLIM tool was 35% (95% CI, 29%-40%); however, the prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed by the Mini Nutrition Assessment (MNA) GLIM tool was 48% (95% CI, 35%-62%). Among the disease types, the prevalence of malnutrition in cancer patients was 44% (95% CI, 36%-52%), while that in acute and critically ill patients was 44% (95% CI, 33%-56%). The prevalence in patients in internal medicine wards was 40% (95% CI, 34%-45%), while that in patients in surgical wards was 47% (95% CI, 30%-64%). In addition, the mortality risk within 1 year (HR, 2.62; 95% CI, 1.95-3.52; I2 = 77.1%) and beyond 1 year (HR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.70-2.45; I2 = 59.9%) of patients diagnosed with malnutrition by the GLIM criteria was double that of patients with normal nutrition. Conclusion The prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed by the GLIM criteria after a nutritional risk screening was significantly lower than the prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed directly by the GLIM criteria. In addition, the mortality risk was significantly greater among malnourished patients assessed by the GLIM criteria.Systematic review registration: identifier CRD42023398454.

Abstract
Nutritional status is an independent predictor of outcome in cirrhosis patients. Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002), Royal Free Hospital-Nutritional Prioritizing Tool (RFH-NPT), and Liver Disease Undernutrition Screening Tool (LDUST) were employed to detect cirrhosis with malnutrition risk in this work. Meanwhile, their diagnostic performances were compared to find the best screening method. This work aimed to establish the sarcopenia cut-off value of the transversal psoas thickness index (TPTI), and identify the risk factors for malnutrition. Cirrhosis patients who were admitted to Heibei Gerneral hospital from April 2021 to October 2021 and underwent abdominal CT examination were enrolled. 78 patients were assessed by NRS2002, RFH-NPT, and LDUST. The Global Leadership Initiative for Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria were selected as the gold standard for the diagnosis of malnutrition. Meanwhile the cut-off value of sarcopenia was established based on the TPTI of malnourished patients. Logistic regression analysis was adopted to assess the influencing factors of malnutrition risk and malnutrition. The prevalence of malnutrition was 42.31%. The prevalence of malnutrition risk was 32.1%, 61.5%, and 62.8% with NRS2002, RFH-NPT, and LDUST, respectively. NRS2002 presented the best specificity compared with the other methods, while RFH-NPT showed the highest sensitivity. The optimal gender-specific TPTI cut-off value for diagnosing sarcopenia was determined as TPTI < 14.56 mm/m (male) and TPTI < 8.34 mm/m (female). In the multivariate analysis, ascites was associated with malnutrition risk, while sarcopenia showed a significant risk for malnutrition. NRS2002 and RFH-NPT were superior to LDUST at detecting the malnutrition in cirrhosis patients diagnosed according to GLIM criteria. The gender-specific TPTI cut-off value was TPTI < 14.56 mm/m (male) and TPTI < 8.34 mm/m (female). Malnutrition risk should be screened for patients with ascites as soon as possible. In addition, it was important to evaluate malnutrition in sarcopenia patients in time.

Saueressig C, Luft VC, Dall'Alba V. Measurement of mid-arm circumference as a starting point for nutritional assessment of patients with decompensated cirrhosis: A prospective cohort study. J Hum Nutr Diet 2023; 36:116-125. [PMID: 35822512 DOI: 10.1111/jhn.13067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The mid-arm circumference (MAC) is an accessible, quick, and inexpensive measurement, which can be performed at the bedside only with a measuring tape. In this sense, the present study aims to suggest MAC cut-off values to assess the nutritional status and its association with mortality of hospitalised patients with decompensated cirrhosis. METHODS A prospective cohort study was performed with decompensated cirrhotic patients. Nutritional status was assessed by MAC and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). Considering the SGA as the reference standard and based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the MAC cut-off values with the best sensitivity and specificity were selected. Predictors of mortality were identified using multivariate analysis. RESULTS The study included 100 patients with a mean ± SD age of 60.1 ± 10.3 years. The median follow-up time was 11.2 months and overall mortality was 60%. Considering malnutrition assessed by SGA as the reference standard, the area under the curve of MAC for women and men was 0.947 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.878-1.000) and 0.813 (95% CI = 0.694-0.932). The MAC cut-off values of ≤ 28 cm for women and ≤ 30 cm for men reached a sensitivity and specificity of 85.5% and 71%, respectively. According to multivariate analysis, a low MAC was significantly associated with mortality (hazard ratio = 2.41; 95% CI = 1.20-4.84). CONCLUSIONS The MAC cut-off values had satisfactory accuracy for men and women in predicting malnutrition. Additionally, a low MAC was an independent predictor of mortality. Thus, these MAC cut-off values can be used as the first step of nutritional assessment to prioritise patients who require more detailed assessment.

Analysis of ESPEN and GLIM algorithms reveals specific drivers for the diagnosis of malnutrition in patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases. Nutrition 2023; 106:111887. [PMID: 36473417 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2022.111887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Revised: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Disease-related malnutrition (MN) is common in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), short bowel syndrome (SBS), and chronic pancreatitis (CP). Different MN risk screening tools and diagnostic criteria of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) algorithms were analyzed for their diagnostic accuracy and role as specific drivers to diagnose MN in patients with LC, SBS, and CP. METHODS A total of 187 patients with LC, SBS, and CP, as well as control patients were prospectively recruited in a multicenter cross-sectional study. MN risk was screened using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002), the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), and the Royal Free Hospital Nutritional Prioritizing Tool (RFH-NPT), and diagnosed using the ESPEN, GLIM, and GLIMCRP+ (GLIM incorporating C-reactive protein [CRP] >5 mg/L) algorithms. For each of the individual diagnostic criteria, relative frequency, sensitivity, specificity, as well as positive and negative predictive values were calculated. RESULTS NRS-2002 was only sensitive in conjunction with ESPEN, while MUST was sensitive additionally with the GLIM algorithm. RFH-NPT worked the best for LC. GLIM and GLIMCRP+ diagnosed MN more frequently than the ESPEN algorithm. Diagnostic criteria were detected at remarkably different relative frequencies starting with reduced food intake/malabsorption and chronic disease/inflammation, followed by weight loss, reduced fat-free mass index, low body mass index, and body mass index <18.5 kg/m². Relative frequencies differed between LC, SBS, and CP. Weight loss in LC and CP and reduced fat-free mass index and food intake in SBS had good diagnostic accuracy, suggesting that these criteria act as specific drivers for MN. CONCLUSIONS RFH-NPT and MUST performed better in conjunction with the GLIM algorithm than NRS-2002. MN was diagnosed more frequently by GLIM than the ESPEN algorithm in LC, SBS, and CP. Individual criteria acted as specific drivers in MN in chronic gastrointestinal diseases.

Comparison of the GLIM criteria with specific screening tool for diagnosing malnutrition in hospitalized patients with cirrhosis: A descriptive cross-sectional study.

[PMID: 36128998 DOI: 10.1002/jpen.2452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) has been built to diagnose malnutrition; however, its validity among patients with cirrhosis remains enigmatic. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of malnutrition according to GLIM criteria and compare the differences by using a specific screening tool. METHODS We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study analyzing hospitalized patients. The Royal Free Hospital-Nutritional Prioritizing Tool (RFH-NPT) was chosen as the screening tool. Estimated prevalence was shown with and without the initial screening process. Diverse combinations of phenotypic and etiologic criteria and distinct body mass index (BMI) cutoffs were applied to detect frequency of malnourished patients with cirrhosis. RESULTS Overall, 363 patients were recruited (median age, 64 years; 51.2% female). The prevalence of malnutrition according to GLIM criteria with and without RFH-NPT screening was 33.3% and 36.4%, respectively. Low BMI and inflammation represented the most prevalent combination resulting in a malnutrition diagnosis (42.4%), followed by low BMI and reduced food intake (39.4%). By contrast, the least prevalence was found when combining reduced muscle mass with inflammation to diagnose malnutrition. Furthermore, the frequency of malnourished and well-nourished participants was not statistically different when using divergent BMI reference values across the study population. CONCLUSIONS GLIM criteria may serve a specific proxy to diagnose malnutrition, along with RFH-NPT screening. Relevant investigation is required to report on the applied combination of phenotypic/etiologic criteria, taking into consideration the marked impact of different models. More attempts are warranted to delineate the prognostic role of GLIM criteria in the context of cirrhosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is associated with adverse outcomes in patients on chronic haemodialysis. Thus, identifying accurate methods for diagnosing malnutrition is essential. The present retrospective study investigated the utility of the new Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria in patients undergoing chronic haemodialysis. METHODS Phase angle and fat-free mass index (FFMI) were derived using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Malnutrition was determined when the subjects had at least one phenotypic criterion (weight loss, low body mass index [BMI] or FFMI). RESULTS This study included 103 patients undergoing chronic haemodialysis and 46 (44.7%) patients were diagnosed as malnourished. Malnutrition determined using the GLIM criteria was associated with increased risks of all-cause death (hazard ratio = 3.0, p = 0.044) and infection requiring hospitalisation (hazard ratio = 2.4, p = 0.015), independent of age, sex and comorbidities. However, malnutrition was not related to major adverse cardiovascular events (p = 0.908). We further evaluated the longitudinal changes in phenotypic parameters. Subjects with median levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein exceeding 5 mg L-1 exhibited decreased body weight and BMI (p = 0.015 and 0.016, respectively). In addition, body weight, BMI and FFMI were reduced in subjects with a median protein catabolic rate of < 1.0 mg kg-1 day-1 , even after adjustment for age, sex and comorbidities (p = 0.026, 0.053 and 0.039, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition assessed using the GLIM criteria could be a useful predictor of mortality and infection in patients on chronic haemodialysis. To improve nutritional status, approaches for decreasing inflammation and increasing protein intake are needed.

A scoping review on the GLIM criteria for malnutrition diagnosis: Understanding how and for which purpose it has been applied in studies on hospital settings. Clin Nutr 2023; 42:29-44. [PMID: 36473426 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2022.10.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2022] [Revised: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
AIMS This scoping review aimed to identify and map the literature on malnutrition diagnosis made using the GLIM criteria in hospitalized patients. METHODS The scoping review was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute's methodology. We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science (until 16 April 2022) to identify studies based on the 'population' (adults or elderly patients), 'concept' (malnutrition diagnosis by the GLIM criteria), and 'context' (hospital settings) framework. Titles/abstracts were screened, and two independent reviewers extracted data from eligible studies. RESULTS Ninety-six studies were eligible (35.4% from China, 30.2% involving oncological patients, and 30.5% with prospective data collection), 32 followed the two-step GLIM approach, and 50 applied all the criteria. All the studies evaluated body mass index (BMI), while 92.7% evaluated weight loss; 77.1%, muscle mass; 93.8%, inflammation; and 70.8%, energy intake. A lack of details on the methods adopted for criterion evaluation was observed in five (muscle mass evaluation) to 40 studies (energy intake evaluation). The frequency of the use of the GLIM criteria ranged from 22.2% (frequency of low BMI) to 84.7% (frequency of inflammation), and the malnutrition prevalence ranged from 0.96% to 87.9%. Less than 30% of studies aimed to assess the GLIM criterion validity, eight studies cited the guidance on validation of the GLIM criteria, and a minority implemented it. CONCLUSIONS This map of studies on the GLIM criteria in hospital settings demonstrated that they are applied in a heterogeneous manner, with a wide range of malnutrition prevalence. Almost 50% of the studies applied all the criteria, while one-third followed the straightforward two-step approach. The recommendations of the guidance on validation of the criteria were scarcely adhered to. The gaps that need to be explored in future studies have been highlighted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Malnutrition is prevalent and negatively affects patients with cirrhosis, but a generally accepted consensus pertaining to its diagnosis is lacking. Recently, a framework called the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) has been proposed to diagnose malnutrition, but there is scant evidence regarding its validity. We aimed to investigate associations of malnutrition according to the GLIM criteria, as well as its individual indicator with in-hospital adverse outcomes. METHODS This was a prospective, observational study of consecutively hospitalized patients with cirrhosis. The malnutrition diagnosis was built on a stepwise GLIM process with initial screening, followed by fulfillment of at least one phenotypic and one etiologic criterion. Patients were followed up for a combined endpoint of in-hospital mortality and prolonged length of stay (LOS). Covariates compromise malnutrition according to the GLIM criteria and its indicators in separation. Logistic regression analyses were implemented to determine predictive validity. RESULTS A total of 387 cirrhotic patients were assessed. Malnutrition was diagnosed in 28.7% of patients according to the GLIM criteria, and increased the risk of in-hospital mortality and prolonged LOS by 2.166 and 1.767 times, respectively, adjusting for age, sex, biochemical parameters, and clinical scores of disease severity. When analyzing separate criteria, all constituents were independently associated with in-hospital adverse outcomes, adjusting for model for end-stage liver disease sodium score. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition according to the GLIM criteria was considerably prevalent among hospitalized patients with cirrhosis, and associated with approximately two times greater probability of in-hospital mortality and prolonged LOS. These diagnostic criteria may be implemented and disseminated during daily practice considering their predictive validity.

Abstract
AIM The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, a newly developed global consensus around core diagnostic criteria for malnutrition, needs validation studies for use in daily clinical settings. This study aimed to determine whether the GLIM criteria could predict sarcopenia and mortality in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 858 patients with CLD who were treated at our hospital between March 2013 and December 2019. Sarcopenia was diagnosed based on the criteria proposed by the Japan Society of Hepatology. Malnutrition was assessed using the GLIM criteria, subjective global assessment (SGA), and Royal Free Hospital-global assessment (RFH-GA) and their predictive ability for sarcopenia and mortality were assessed using the logistic regression analysis and the Cox proportional hazards regression model, respectively. RESULTS Among the eligible 406 patients, 67% were men, the median age was 74 years, and 26% had sarcopenia. The prevalence of malnutrition according to the GLIM criteria, SGA, and RFH-GA was 21%, 35%, and 26%, respectively. Comparing malnourished with well-nourished patients, the odds ratio for complicating sarcopenia was 2.54 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44-4.49) for the GLIM criteria, 2.13 (95% CI, 1.09-4.15) for the SGA, and 2.78 (95% CI, 1.56-4.95) for the RFH-GA. During a median follow-up period of 2.0 years, 176 (43%) patients died. After adjusting for confounding factors, the GLIM criteria could independently predict mortality (hazard ratio, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.37-2.81). CONCLUSIONS The GLIM criteria are useful in identifying sarcopenia and predicting mortality in patients with CLD.

Abstract
Malnutrition is a serious problem with a negative impact on the quality of life and the evolution of patients, contributing to an increase in morbidity, length of hospital stay, mortality, and health spending. Early identification is fundamental to implement the necessary therapeutic actions, involving adequate nutritional support to prevent or reverse malnutrition. This review presents two complementary methods of fighting malnutrition: nutritional screening and nutritional assessment. Nutritional risk screening is conducted using simple, quick-to-perform tools, and is the first line of action in detecting at-risk patients. It should be implemented systematically and periodically on admission to hospital or residential care, as well as on an outpatient basis for patients with chronic conditions. Once patients with a nutritional risk are detected, they should undergo a more detailed nutritional assessment to identify and quantify the type and degree of malnutrition. This should include health history and clinical examination, dietary history, anthropometric measurements, evaluation of the degree of aggression determined by the disease, functional assessment, and, whenever possible, some method of measuring body composition.

[PMID: 35434892 DOI: 10.1111/1747-0080.12738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
AIM Reliable and valid predictors of malnutrition in patients with cirrhosis remain scarce, especially easily accessible blood indicators. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the validity of the sarcopenia index (serum creatinine/serum cystatin C × 100) as a tool in assessing the nutritional status of patients with cirrhosis. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 109 patients with cirrhosis who were hospitalised in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from August 2020 to June 2021. Malnutrition was diagnosed by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between sarcopenia index and malnutrition. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of sarcopenia index. By contrast, we evaluated the subjective global assessment and traditional nutrition-related indicators. RESULTS Of the 109 included patients, 71 (65.1%) were diagnosed with malnutrition. The sarcopenia index was significantly lower in malnourished patients (56.39 ± 15.23) compared with well-nourished patients (74.95 ± 13.18, p < 0.001). In addition, the sarcopenia index was independently correlated with malnutrition (p < 0.001). The sarcopenia index was a good tool to predict malnutrition (area under curve = 0.833), which performed better than the subjective global assessment (area under curve = 0.782) and cholinesterase (area under curve = 0.812). A low sarcopenia index indicated longer hospital stay and higher risk of 90-day re-hospitalisation. CONCLUSION Malnutrition is highly prevalent in this population. The sarcopenia index seems to be a good predictor in nutritional assessment of patients with cirrhosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the application of NRS2002 in preoperative nutritional screening of patients with liver cancer (LC). METHODS 60 LC patients treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University (January 2018-May 2021) were chosen as the research objects, and split into group J without nutritional risk and group Q with nutritional risk according to the results of NRS2002 to compare the preoperative situation, surgery-related indexes, hematological indexes, postoperative recovery, and incidence of complications between the two groups. RESULTS Group J (n = 28) and group Q (n = 32) showed no obvious difference in preoperative situation, and patients' liver function indexes were within the normal range. The duration of surgery in group J was notably shorter compared with group Q (P < 0.05). Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), direct bilirubin (DBIL), and albumin in group J were notably different from those of group Q (P < 0.001) at 1 day after surgery. ALT and AST in group J were notably different from those of group Q at 3 days after surgery (P < 0.001). No obvious differences were observed in the hematological indexes between the two groups at 5 days after surgery (P > 0.05). The total amount of albumin infusion, postoperative hospitalization time, and hospitalization cost in group J were notably lower compared with group Q (P < 0.001). The incidence of complications in group J was notably lower compared with group Q (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Postoperative recovery of LC patients is closely related to their preoperative nutritional status, and those with poor nutritional status have a high incidence of postoperative complications and long recovery time. NRS2002 can effectively screen the nutritional status of patients and provide reference for prognosis evaluation.

A Comparative Analysis of Nutritional Assessment Using Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition Versus Subjective Global Assessment and Malnutrition Inflammation Score in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients. J Ren Nutr 2021; 32:476-482. [PMID: 34330567 DOI: 10.1053/j.jrn.2021.06.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2021] [Revised: 06/10/2021] [Accepted: 06/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Malnutrition is a prevalent condition in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the recently developed GLIM (Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition) in MHD by assessing the agreement, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and survival prediction of GLIM when compared to 7-point subjective global assessment (7p-SGA) and malnutrition inflammation score (MIS). DESIGN AND METHODS We investigated 2 cohorts: MHDltaly (121 adults from Italy; 67 ± 16 years, 65% men, body mass index 25 ± 5 kg/m2) and MHDBrazil (169 elderly [age > 60 years] from Brazil; 71 ± 7 years, 66% men, body mass index 25 ± 4 kg/m2), followed for all-cause mortality for median 40 and 17 months, respectively. We applied the 2-step approach from GLIM: (1) screening and (2) confirming malnutrition by phenotypic and etiologic criteria. For 7p-SGA and MIS, a score ≤5 and ≥8, respectively, defined malnutrition. RESULTS Malnutrition was present in 38.8% by GLIM, 25.6% by 7p-SGA, and 29.7% by MIS in the MHDItaly cohort, and in 47.9% by GLIM, 59.8% by 7p-SGA, and 49.7% by MIS in the MHDBrazil cohort. Cohen's kappa coefficient (κ) showed only "fair" agreement between GLIM and SGA (MHDItaly: κ = 0.26, P = .003; MHDBrazil: κ = 0.22, P = .003) and between GLIM and MIS (MHDItaly: κ = 0.33, P < .001; MHDBrazil: κ = 0.25, P = .001). Cox regression analysis showed that all 3 methods were able to predict mortality in crude analysis; however in the adjusted model, the association seemed more consistent and stronger in magnitude for 7p-SGA and MIS. CONCLUSION In MHD patients, GLIM showed low agreement, sensitivity, and accuracy in identifying malnourished subjects by either 7p-SGA or MIS. Considering the specific wasting characteristics that predominate in MHD, the well-established 7p-SGA and MIS methods may be more useful in this clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to identify cutoff values for muscle ultrasound (US) to be used in Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, and to define the effect of reduced muscle mass assessment on malnutrition prevalence at hospital admission. METHODS A total of 118 inpatients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Six different muscles were evaluated by US. Following defining thresholds for muscle US to predict low muscle mass measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis, malnutrition was diagnosed by GLIM criteria with seven approaches, including calf circumference, mid-upper arm circumference (MAC), handgrip strength (HGS), skeletal muscle index (SMI), rectus femoris (RF) muscle thickness, and cross-sectional area (CSA) in addition to without using the reduced muscle mass criterion. RESULTS The median age of patients was 64 (18-93) years, 55.9% were female. RF muscle thickness had moderate positive correlations with both HGS (r = 0.572) and SMI (r = 0.405). RF CSA had moderate correlation with HGS (r = 0.567) and low correlation with SMI (r = 0.389). The cutoff thresholds were 11.3 mm (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.835) and 17 mm (AUC = 0.737) for RF muscle thickness and 4 cm² (AUC = 0.937) and 7.2 cm² (AUC = 0.755) for RF CSA in females and males, respectively. Without using the reduced muscle mass criterion, malnutrition prevalence was 46.6%; otherwise, it ranged from 47.5% (using MAC) to 65.2% (using HGS). CONCLUSIONS Muscle US may be used in GLIM criteria. However, muscle US needs a standard measurement technique and specific cutoff values in future studies.

Abstract
Up to 28% of elderly residents in Europe are at risk of malnutrition. As uniform diagnostic criteria for malnutrition have not been formulated, in autumn 2018, the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) presented a consensus on its diagnosis. According to the consensus, the diagnosis of malnutrition requires a positive screening test result for the risk of malnutrition, and the presence of at least one etiologic and one phenotypic criterion. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance and accuracy of the Mini Nutritional Assessment—Short Form (MNA-SF) against GLIM criteria. The analysis involved 273 community-dwelling volunteers aged ≥ 60 years. All participants were screened for malnutrition with the MNA-SF questionnaire. Next, the GLIM phenotypic and etiologic criteria were assessed in all subjects. Based on the presence of at least one phenotypic and one etiologic criterion, malnutrition was diagnosed in more than one-third of participants (n = 103, 37.7%). According to the MNA-SF, only 7.3% of subjects had malnutrition, and 28.2% were at risk of malnutrition. The agreement between the MNA-SF score and the GLIM criteria were observed in only 22.3% of the population. The sensitivity and specificity of MNA-SF against the GLIM criteria were fair (59.2% and 78.8%, respectively). The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.77, indicating the fair ability of MNA-SF to diagnose malnutrition. Based on the present study results, the best solution may be an optional replacement of the screening tool in the first step of the GLIM algorithm with clinical suspicion of malnutrition.

Abstract
Liver and pancreatic diseases have significant consequences on nutritional status, with direct effects on clinical outcomes, survival, and quality of life. Maintaining and preserving an adequate nutritional status is crucial and should be one of the goals of patients with liver or pancreatic disease. Thus, the nutritional status of such patients should be systematically assessed at follow-up. Recently, great progress has been made in this direction, and the relevant pathophysiological mechanisms have been better established. While the spectrum of these diseases is wide, and the mechanisms of the onset of malnutrition are numerous and interrelated, clinical and nutritional manifestations are common. The main consequences include an impaired dietary intake, altered macro and micronutrient metabolism, energy metabolism disturbances, an increase in energy expenditure, nutrient malabsorption, sarcopenia, and osteopathy. In this review, we summarize the factors contributing to malnutrition, and the effects on nutritional status and clinical outcomes of liver and pancreatic diseases. We explain the current knowledge on how to assess malnutrition and the efficacy of nutritional interventions in these settings.

J Hum Nutr Diet 2021; 34:935-944. [PMID: 33908107 DOI: 10.1111/jhn.12907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2020] [Revised: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 03/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is prevalent in hospital, and the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) has been widely used for its identification. However, in the last decade, new tools were proposed by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics-American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (AND-ASPEN), European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM). The diagnostic test accuracy of these tools has been scarcely investigated. Thus, we aimed to compare the accuracy of AND-ASPEN, ESPEN and GLIM for malnutrition diagnosis in hospitalised patients. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with hospitalised patients aged ≥ 18 years from a five-unit complex hospital. Malnutrition was diagnosed within 48 h of admission using SGA, AND-ASPEN, ESPEN and GLIM. The accuracy of these tools was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve, considering SGA as reference, which was compared by the DeLong test. RESULTS Six hundred patients (55.7 ± 14.8 years, 51.3% male) were evaluated. AND-ASPEN [AUROC 0.846; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.810-0.883] and GLIM presented a satisfactory accuracy (AUROC 0.842; 95% CI, 0.807-0.877), whereas ESPEN had a substantially lower accuracy (AUROC, 0.572; 95% CI, 0.522-0.622). The AUROC of AND-ASPEN and GLIM were not different from each other (p = 0.785) and both had significantly higher accuracy than ESPEN (p < 0.001). AND-ASPEN and GLIM presented sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value > 80%, whereas ESPEN sensitivity was < 20%. CONCLUSIONS AND-ASPEN and GLIM were accurate methods for diagnosing malnutrition and could be applied in hospitalised patients. By contrast, the ESPEN criteria had unsatisfactory accuracy.

[PMID: 33487504 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2021.01.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Revised: 12/25/2020] [Accepted: 01/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Malnutrition is prevalent among hospitalized patients, but there is no universally accepted consensus regarding its diagnosis. Recently, the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) proposed a new framework for the malnutrition diagnosis and until this moment there is scarce evidence regarding its validity. This study aimed to evaluate the concurrent and predictive validity of GLIM criteria for malnutrition diagnosis in hospitalized patients. METHODS Prospective cohort study involving adult/elderly hospitalized patients. The malnutrition diagnoses according to Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and GLIM criteria were performed within 48 h of admission. Patients were followed up until hospital discharge to assess the length of hospital stay (LOS) and in-hospital mortality. Six months post discharge; the patients were contacted to collect the outcomes readmission and death. Agreement and accuracy tests, Cox and Logistic regression analysis were performed for testing criterion validity. RESULTS 601 patients (55.7 ± 14.8 years, 51.3% men) were evaluated. Malnutrition was diagnosed in 33.9% and 41.6% of patients, by SGA and GLIM criteria, respectively. GLIM criteria presented a satisfactory accuracy, (AUC = 0.842; CI95% 0.807-0.877) with a sensitivity of 86.6%, and a specificity of 81.6%. The presence of malnutrition by GLIM criteria increased the chance of prolonged hospitalization by 1.76 (CI95% 1.23-2.52) times, and the risk of in-hospital deaths by 5.1 (CI95% 1.14-23.14) times. It was also associated with death within six months (RR = 3.96, CI95% 1.49-10.53). CONCLUSION GLIM criteria for malnutrition diagnosis presented satisfactory criterion validity and should be applied during clinical practice.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Although hospital malnutrition is highly prevalent worldwide, it is difficult to compare the data due to the different nutritional assessment tools used. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition, which aims to operationalize malnutrition diagnosis, consists of five criteria: three phenotypic and two etiological criteria. Many researchers have studied the applicability and clinical relevance of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition, and methodological standards have been established by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition commission for the application and possible validation of the tool. This study aimed to analyze the methodological processes of the studies that compared the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition with a test tool. A literature review was conducted by the Portal Periódicos from Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior between November 2020 and January 2021. This review included articles published in English between 2016 and 2021 that compared the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition with another tool used for diagnosing malnutrition. The sample had 13 articles, of which 11 did not adequately describe how the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria were applied. Only two studies utilized a combination of the phenotypic and etiological criteria. Some studies differed from the methodological recommendations of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition commission. Thus, it seems that applying the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition in a manner different from the original framework elicited limited results regarding the applicability and reliability of the tool. Therefore, more studies should be conducted on the application of the GLIM Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition in different populations and contexts as per the patterns suggested to determine its actual applicability and reliability.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review recent reports on techniques and tools for screening and diagnosis of malnutrition in gastrointestinal disease, in the light of the newly published definition of malnutrition by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM). RECENT FINDINGS In 2019, the GLIM concept of malnutrition was published advocating a two-step procedure; first, screening, and second confirmation of the diagnosis that requires a combination of phenotypic and etiologic criteria. Three studies in patients with gastrointestinal disorders so far published utilize the GLIM criteria. Otherwise, traditional tools, as Nutrition Risk Screening-2002, Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool or Subjective Global Assessment are used, and confirm that malnutrition is observed in a substantial number of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), serious liver disorders and various forms of pancreatitis. Common for these disorders is an extensive loss of muscle mass, which is one of the GLIM phenotypic criteria. Such patients often undergo abdominal computed tomography scans that enable psoas muscle mass at L3 or L4 level to be calculated. SUMMARY The GLIM criteria for the diagnosis of malnutrition are feasible for IBD, liver and pancreas diseases. Pending studies expect to provide data on the clinical relevance to diagnose malnutrition by the GLIM concept.
