Geriatr Nurs 2024; 59:351-356. [PMID: 39127011 DOI: 10.1016/j.gerinurse.2024.07.023] [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: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of simplified nutritional appetite questionnaire (SNAQ). METHODS The SNAQ was translated and back-translated for the study population. We surveyed 122 community-dwelling residents aged ≥60 years in Beijing's residential communities. Participants underwent face-to-face surveys including the SNAQ, mini-nutritional assessment short-form (MNA-SF), FRAIL scale, Sarcopenia-Five (SCAR-F), 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), 8-item Oral Frailty Index (OFI-8), 10-item Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10), and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Cronbach's alpha was used to measure the internal consistency and the relationship between individual items. The construct validity was verified using the KMO-Bartlett. Concurrent validity was established to validate measures of the same constructs. RESULTS Cronbach's alpha measured the internal consistency of the questionnaire at 0.694. The split-half reliability stood at 0.725. The construct validity of the SNAQ was confirmed using a KMO-Bartlett value of 0.648 (P <0.001). The MNA-SF, as validation benchmark, has a correlation coefficient of 0.345 (P =0.001). CONCLUSION The Chinese version of the SNAQ has good reliability and validity for older adults in community settings.

The potential of machine learning models to identify malnutrition diagnosed by GLIM combined with NRS-2002 in colorectal cancer patients without weight loss information. Clin Nutr 2024; 43:1151-1161. [PMID: 38603972 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2024.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The key step of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) is nutritional risk screening, while the most appropriate screening tool for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is yet unknown. The GLIM diagnosis relies on weight loss information, and bias or even failure to recall patients' historical weight can cause misestimates of malnutrition. We aimed to compare the suitability of several screening tools in GLIM diagnosis, and establish machine learning (ML) models to predict malnutrition in CRC patients without weight loss information. METHODS This multicenter cohort study enrolled 4487 CRC patients. The capability of GLIM diagnoses combined with four screening tools in predicting survival probability was compared by Kaplan-Meier curves, and the most accurate one was selected as the malnutrition reference standard. Participants were randomly assigned to a training cohort (n = 3365) and a validation cohort (n = 1122). Several ML approaches were adopted to establish models for predicting malnutrition without weight loss data. We estimated feature importance and reserved the top 30% of variables for retraining simplified models. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were calculated to assess and compare model performance. RESULTS NRS-2002 was the most suitable screening tool for GLIM diagnosis in CRC patients, with the highest hazard ratio (1.59; 95% CI, 1.43-1.77). A total of 2076 (46.3%) patients were malnourished diagnosed by GLIM combined with NRS-2002. The simplified random forest (RF) model outperformed other models with an AUC of 0.830 (95% CI, 0.805-0.854), and accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were 0.775, 0.835 and 0.742, respectively. We deployed an online application based on the simplified RF model to accurately estimate malnutrition probability in CRC patients without weight loss information (https://zzuwtt1998.shinyapps.io/dynnomapp/). CONCLUSIONS Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 was the optimal initial nutritional risk screening tool in the GLIM process. The RF model outperformed other models, and an online prediction tool was developed to properly identify patients at high risk of malnutrition.

Front Nutr 2024; 10:1227840. [PMID: 38260070 PMCID: PMC10800825 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1227840] [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: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Malnutrition is a common geriatric syndrome affecting approximately half of the older population with a more pronounced occurrence rate in those hospitalized. It affects the physiology, and results in poor humanistic and clinical outcomes. In Africa, particularly in Ethiopia, albeit multiple studies are available on malnutrition in non-hospitalized older population, similar studies in inpatient settings are scarce. Therefore, this study was conducted with the intention to quantify the prevalence of malnutrition in older patients on inpatient admission and determine its associated factors. Methods A total of 157 older inpatients aged 60 years and above were included in the present study. The data collection format was developed after an in-depth review of relevant literatures. The full Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) tool was employed to assess the nutritional status on admission. Data completeness was checked thoroughly. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were conducted using STATA 15.0. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and classification table were computed to evaluate the final model goodness-of-fit. Results Of the total study subjects, 81% were malnourished (MNA score <17) and 17% were at risk for malnutrition (MNA score of 17.5-23.5). However, upon review of the patients' medical charts, malnutrition diagnosis was recorded in only two patients. Rural residence (AOR = 2.823, 95%CI: 1.088, 7.324), self-reported financial dependence for expenses (AOR = 4.733, 95%CI: 1.011, 22.162), and partial dependence in functional autonomy on admission (AOR = 3.689, 95%CI: 1.190, 11.433) significantly increased the risk of malnutrition. The area under the ROC curve (0.754) and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test (p = 0.7564) indicated that the final model reasonably fits the data. The model`s sensitivity is 96.85%. Conclusion In the present study, an alarmingly high prevalence of malnutrition was identified older inpatients. The problem went undiagnosed in a similar percentage of patients. Several available literatures indicate the presence of an association between nutritional status and patient outcomes, thus strict nutritional screening at inpatient admission and intervention are recommended with special emphasis for those from rural areas, with financial dependence, and with functional impairment on admission.

Abstract
Background and aims This study aimed to explore the risk factors of malnutrition in patients with heart failure and construct a novel nomogram model. Methods and results A cross-sectional study based on the STROBE checklist. Patients with heart failure from July 2020 to August 2021 were included. Patients were divided into a malnutrition group and a normal nutrition group based on the Society's recommended AND-ASPEN standard. Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for malnutrition. A new prediction model of nomogram was constructed based on the risk factors, and its fit and prediction performance were evaluated. Of 433 patients, 66 (15.2%) had malnutrition and 367 (84.8%) had normal nutrition, Logistic regression analyses showed that the risk factors for malnutrition were total protein, hemoglobin, triglyceride, and glucose levels. The regression model based on the above four variables showed an area under the curve of 0.858. The novel nomogram model had a sensitivity of 78.5% and a specificity of 77.3%. After 2000 bootstrap resampling iterations, AUC was 0.852. Conclusions The novel nomogram model can predict the odds of malnutrition in patients with heart failure at the early stage of admission, and can provide a reference for nursing staff to optimize nutritional care for inpatient with heart failure and to develop a discharge nutritional care plan.

Abstract
Background The prevalence and prognostic significance of malnutrition risk remain unclear in Chinese patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the malnutrition risk in Chinese patients and explore the relationship between malnutrition risk and follow-up outcomes. Methods We conducted a hospital-based cohort study from January 2020 to December 2020. Malnutrition risks were evaluated using nutritional scales, including the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002), the controlling nutritional status score (CONUT), the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), and the prognostic nutritional index (PNI). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality at a one-year follow-up. Malnutrition risk was calculated, and the relationship between malnutrition and follow-up outcomes was analyzed. We assessed the performance of malnutrition risks to predict clinical outcomes in prognostic models. Results A total of 1,075 patients were included. According to NRS-2002, CONUT, GNRI, and PNI, 818 (76.09%), 954 (88.74%), 682 (63.44%), and 364 (33.86%) patients were at risk of malnutrition, respectively. Before 1-year follow-up, a total of 99 patients (9.2%) had died. After adjustment for risk factors, the association between severe malnutrition in CONUT (HR = 4.78, 95% CI: 1.14-20.11, P = 0.033), GNRI (HR = 3.53, 95% CI: 1.70-7.34, P = 0.001), or PNI (HR = 2.94, 95% CI: 1.76-4.88, P < 0.001) and death before 1-year follow-up remained significant. The addition of the nutritional scales to prognostic models improved death prediction, as validated by the integrated discrimination index (all P-values of <0.05). Conclusion Malnutrition in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was associated with an increased risk of all-cause death in the long-term follow-up. Our findings provided evidence for the use of admission nutrition screening in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The Norwegian Directorate of Health has identified a need to harmonize and standardize the malnutrition screening practice in Norwegian hospitals and primary health care settings, in order to provide a seamless communication of malnutrition screening along the patient pathway. Our aim was to perform a systematic review of the validity and reliability of screening tools used to identify risk of malnutrition across health care settings, diagnoses or conditions and adult age groups, as a first step towards a national recommendation of one screening tool. METHODS A systematic literature search for articles evaluating validity, agreement, and reliability of malnutrition screening tools, published up to August 2020, was conducted in: MEDLINE, Embase, APA PsycInfo, Cinahl, Cochrane Databases, Web of Science, Epistemonikos, SveMed+, and Norart. The systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022300558). For critical appraisal of each included article, the Quality Criteria Checklist by The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics was used. RESULTS The review identified 105 articles that fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The most frequently validated tools were Mini Nutritional Assessment short form (MNA), Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST), and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002). MNA, MST and NRS-2002 displayed overall moderate validity, and MUST low validity. All four tools displayed low agreement. MST and MUST were validated across health care settings and age groups. In general, data on reliability was limited. CONCLUSIONS The screening tools MST and NRS-2002 displayed moderate validity for the identification of malnutrition in adults, of which MST is validated across health care settings. In addition, MNA has moderate validity for the identification of malnutrition in adults 65 years or older.

Abstract
AIMS Malnutrition is common in patients with heart failure (HF) and is associated with poorer quality of life and increased mortality; however, an effective screening tool for malnutrition and its impact on the readmission of patients with HF is uncertain. Our objectives were to study (i) the nutritional status of Chinese hospitalized patients with HF and its impact on readmission and (ii) the validity of seven malnutrition screening tools. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, univariate and multivariate analyses of Cox proportional hazards regression were used to determine important predictors of readmission. The endpoint was readmission due to HF or non-HF. A total of 402 patients were included (66.4% male, median age 62 years [range: 20-92 years], median NT-proBNP 5,229 ng/L). During a median follow-up of 159 days, 150 patients (37%) were readmitted to the hospital. After adjusting for confounders, only malnutrition assessed using the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) nutrition score was independently associated with readmission (P = 0.0293). A base model for predicting readmission with a C-statistic of 0.680 and subsequent addition of various nutritional screening tools improved its performance over the base model. Patients with malnutrition had a twofold increased risk of readmission. CONCLUSIONS We found that the prevalence of malnutrition among hospitalized patients with HF in China is very high and that malnutrition significantly increases the risk of readmission in these patients. CONUT is a validated screening tool for malnutrition and may provide valuable prognostic information.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignant tumor and resection remains the key element in its treatment. The correction of preoperative malnutrition reduces morbidity and mortality. Our study demonstrates a nutritional state mass screening protocol to steer nutritional support. Two hundred fifty-nine patients with planned colorectal resection were prospectively enrolled. Preoperative telemedicinal assessment determined the risk of malnutrition using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score. Patients with a score ≥3 were offered optimized oral nutritional supplement. Three groups were investigated. Group I (NRS 2002 < 3, n = 98) received no supplement. Group II- (NRS 2002 ≥ 3, n = 118) was offered but did not finally receive clinical nutrition. Group II+ (NRS 2002 ≥ 3, n = 43) accepted and received adequate clinical nutrition. 98 patients (37.8%) had no risk, 154 patients (59.5%) had increased risk and 7 (2.7%) had severe malnutrition. Severe complications (Clavien-Dindo >2) rate was similar in Group I (2%) and Group II+ (2.3%) with no mortality. Severe complications more often occurred in Group II- (5.1%) along with 1.7% mortality (p > 0.05). Length of stay was the highest in Group II- while the lowest in Group II+ (p < 0.01). Preoperative telemedicinal screening is applicable in identifying patients with malnutrition. NRS 2002 used by a nutritional team reduces length of stay.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the effectiveness of dysphagia screening and subsequent swallowing rehabilitation in elderly stroke patients with malnutrition risk. Patients and Methods Based on the Chinese Stroke Center Alliance (CSCA) from August 1, 2015 to July 21, 2019, we compared the in-hospital adverse outcomes among stroke patients (including ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage) over 70 years old with and without dysphagia screening. The primary outcome was in-hospital all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes were the composite endpoint of discharge against medical advice (DAMA) or in-hospital death. Results Among 365,530 stroke patients ≥ 70 years old with malnutrition risk in the CSCA, documented dysphagia screening was performed for 288,764 (79.0%) participants. Of these, 41,482 (14.37%) patients had dysphagia, and 33,548 (80.87%) patients received swallowing rehabilitation. A total of 1,694 (0.46%) patients experienced in-hospital death. After adjustment for traditional risk factors, dysphagia screening was associated with a low risk of all-cause mortality in stroke patients [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI):0.65–0.87]. Compared to patients with dysphagia who did not receive swallowing rehabilitation, patients reveiving swallowing rehabilitation had a reduced risk of in-hospital death (aOR:0.39, 95% CI: 0.33–0.46). Additionally, dysphagia screening had a lower risk for the composite endpoint of DAMA or in-hospital death (aOR:0.83,95% CI: 0.80–0.87), as did subsequent swallowing rehabilitation (aOR:0.43,95% CI: 0.40–0.47). Similar results were observed in the sensitivity analysis through inverse probability of treatment weighting, propensity score matching, and excluding patients without National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores. A similar association was observed between dysphagia management and adverse clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage patients. Conclusion Dysphagia screening and swallowing rehabilitation were associated with a reduced risk of in-hospital death and composite outcome of DAMA or in-hospital death for stroke patients with malnutrition risk. Future research should concentrate on improving the quality of medical care for dysphagia management to improve patients’ outcomes.

A Comparison of the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) and the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) Tool for Older Patients Undergoing General Surgery. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10245860. [PMID: 34945154 PMCID: PMC8704256 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10245860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Revised: 12/06/2021] [Accepted: 12/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The optimal malnutrition screening tool in geriatric surgery has yet to be determined. Herein, we compare two main tools in older patients undergoing general surgery operations. Older patients (>65 years old) who underwent general surgery operations between 2012 and 2017 in a tertiary centre were included. The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) and the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF) were used for nutritional risk assessment. Preoperative variables as well as postoperative outcomes were recorded prospectively. Agreement between tools was determined with the weighted kappa (κ) statistic. Multiple regression analysis was used to assess the association of the screening tools with postoperative outcomes. A total of 302 patients (median age 74 years, range: 65–92) were included. A similar number of patients were classified as medium/high risk for malnutrition with the MNA-SF and MUST (26% vs. 36%, p = 0.126). Agreement between the two tools was moderate (weighted κ: 0.474; 95%CI: 0.381–0.568). In the multivariate analysis, MNA-SF was associated significantly with postoperative mortality (p = 0.038) and with postoperative length of stay (p = 0.001). MUST was associated with postoperative length of stay (p = 0.048). The MNA-SF seems to be more consistently associated with postoperative outcomes in elderly patients undergoing general surgery compared with the MUST tool.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few data are available on the nutritional status of Iranian geriatric population. The present study aimed to determine the nutritional status of older adults' population in Birjand, East of Iran. METHODS The community-based cohort study was performed on older adults population (60 years and older) living in urban and rural areas of Birjand. The mini nutritional assessment (MNA) questionnaire was used to assess nutritional status. Anthropometric and biochemical evaluation were also performed for all of the participants. RESULTS A total of 1417 geriatric person were enrolled in this study, which, most of them were female (51.9 %). According to MNA tool, most of the participants (73.3 %) had normal nutrition (MNA score ≥ 24). Malnourished (MNA score < 17) and at high risk of malnutrition (MNA score: 17- 23.5) were constituted 0.9 % and 25.8 % of the participants, respectively. Marital status, occupation, period of education and family member were associated with nutritional status. Multiple logistic regression showed that with increase of body mass index (BMI) (OR = 0.96), education years (OR = 0.95), hemoglobin (OR = 0.86) and lymphocyte (OR = 0.98), the odds of malnutrition decreased, but with increase of age the odds (1.03) of malnutrition is also elevated. CONCLUSIONS MNA could successfully forecast the risk of malnutrition and malnourished people. Sociodemographic factors are associated with the nutritional status.

Abstract
The identification and management of malnutrition is increasingly considered as an important issue in cancer treatment. This study aimed at determining the prevalence of malnutrition among elderly inpatients with gastrointestinal cancer. Meanwhile, the exact relationship between nutrition and frailty was explored. The presence of malnutrition was determined using Mini-Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF), Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002), and a batch of laboratory parameters. A cross-sectional study of 265 eligible elderly inpatients with gastrointestinal cancer was conducted. The results showed that the prevalence of malnutrition classified by MNA-SF, NRS2002, albumin, prealbumin, total protein, hemoglobin, and total lymphocyte count were 66.8%, 68.7%, 41.5%, 27.9%, 39.2%, 40.8%, and 15.5%, respectively. There was a fair agreement between MNA-SF and NRS2002 (Kappa = 0.335, P < 0.001) in screening malnutrition. According to the albumin criterion, both MNA-SF and NRS2002 exhibited better sensitivity (72.7% and 76.4%, respectively) but poor specificity (37.4% and 36.8%, respectively) in screening malnutrition. A significant linear correlation between MNA-SF (NRS2002) and frailty was discovered (β=-0.259 and β = 0.412, respectively, P < 0.001). By identifying malnutrition in this elderly population, targeted plans can be developed as a part of cancer treatment and care. A better nutritional screening tool with both high sensitivity and specificity should be selected or developed.

Abstract
Objective This study was designed to explore the impact of different scoring settings of disease severity on the accuracy of screening by NRS2002. Methods Patients with severe COVID-19 who were admitted to our hospital from January 26, 2020, to March 16, 2020, were enrolled in this study. The basic data, the scores of the NRS2002 score sheet, and the serum prealbumin (PAB) level when these patients were admitted were collected, and the reflection of NRS2002 scores under different disease severity score settings to abnormal patients was analyzed. Results 1. When the severity of the disease was set to 0 points, four of the six hospitalized patients with PAB levels below the lower normal limit were not screened out; 2. When the severity was set to 1 point, two patients with COVID-19 who developed to a severe stage during the treatment process were screened out, but three of the six hospitalized patients with PAB levels below the lower normal limit at admission were not screened out; 3. When the severity of the disease of a patient with severe COVID-19 and fever scored 2 points, and that of a patient without fever scored 1 point, two patients with COVID-19 who developed to the severe stage during the treatment process were screened out, and six patients who were hospitalized with PAB levels below the lower normal limit at admission were also screened out. Conclusion When the severe degree of patients with COVID-19 and fever is rated as 2 points, and that of the patients without fever is rated as 1 point, it can more accurately reflect the severity degree of patients with undernourishment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Due to an increase in aging worldwide, assessment of the nutritional status of older people becomes an important matter. Malnutrition in older people increases the risk of infections, disease period and hospitalization rates. This study aimed to compare the different anthropometric indices for detecting malnutrition among older people and comparing these indices among males and females to explain the possible differences. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 2721 aged 65 years and older in Turkey were enrolled. Anthropometric measurements weight, height, hip circumference (HC), and waist circumference (WC), abdominal circumference (AC), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), triceps skinfold thickness (TST), calf circumference (CC)) were measured. Body mass index (BMI), abdominal volume index (AVI), body roundness index (BRI) and body adiposity index (BAI), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) indices were calculated using standardized formulas. The receiver operator characteristic curves (ROCs) were conducted in detecting the best anthropometric parameters. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) (stratified by sex) calculated for each anthropometric index. RESULTS Participants with both BMI < 18.5 (1.1%) and BMI > 25 (80%) defined as the malnourished group and BMI of 18.5-24.99 (18.9%) defined as the normal group. In both sexes, the area under the curve (AUC) was > 0.7 for all anthropometric indices except WHR in females (AUC 0.66). BRI, WHR, WHtR, and AVI indices strongly predict the risk of malnutrition among both sexes. In males, the ORs were for BRI (6.83, 95% CI 5.39-8.66), WHR (6.43, 95% CI 5.9-6.9), AVI (2.02, 95% CI 1.86-2.12). In females, the ORs were for BRI (3.72, 95% CI 3.09-4.48), WtHR (2.63, 95% CI 1.3-3.5), and WHR (2.45, 95% CI 1.9-3.06). DISCUSSION The presence of a large AUC in almost all anthropometric indices suggests that they can be used to assess the risk of malnutrition among older persons in both sexes.

Abstract
A tool to assess nutritional status in older persons was really needed. It took 5 years to design the MNA® (Mini Nutrition Assessment) tool, complete the first validations studies both in Europe and in the U.S. and to publish it. After the full MNA®, the MNA® short form and the self-MNA® have been validated. As well as Chinese and other national MNA® forms. Now more than 2000 clinical research have used the MNA® all over the world from community care to hospital. At least 22 Expert groups included the MNA® in new clinical practice guidelines, national or international registries. The MNA® is presently included in almost all geriatric and nutrition textbook and part of the teaching program for medicine and other health care professional worldwide. The urgent need is to target the frail older adults more likely to have weight loss and poor appetite and to prevent frailty and weight loss in the robust. We present in this paper the review of 25 years of clinical research and practice using the MNA® worldwide.

Analysis of Quality of Life and Nutritional Status in Elderly Patients with Dysphagia in Order to Prevent Hospital Admissions in a COVID-19 Pandemic. Life (Basel) 2020; 11:22. [PMID: 33396486 PMCID: PMC7824070 DOI: 10.3390/life11010022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2020] [Revised: 12/27/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is currently recognized as one of the geriatric syndromes due to its high frequency in older people and its associated complications, which have a direct impact on quality of life. The main objective is to determine the effectiveness of telehealth consultation for the re-evaluation of nutritional status and quality of life assessment in older people diagnosed with OD associated with active use of thickeners to prevent hospital admissions in a COVID-19 pandemic. (2) Methods: an observational, descriptive, and longitudinal study that included a sample of 33 subjects with age equal or superior to 65 years diagnosed with OD with conserved cognitive capacity. The nutritional status was evaluated through the Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) questionnaire and biochemical parameters and, the quality of life was determined through the Swallowing Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL) questionnaire. (3) Results: Thirty-three older patients with OD were recruited (54.5% women), with a mean age of 83.5 ± 7.6 years. The main cause of OD in the study population was neurodegenerative disease (51.5%), followed by cerebrovascular disease (33.3%), and other causes (15.2%). Sixty point six percent of patients were found to be at risk of malnutrition. The MNA score was significantly correlated to albumin (r: 0.600, p < 0.001) and total proteins (r: 0.435, p = 0.015), but not to total cholesterol (r: -0.116, p = 0.534) or lymphocytes (r: -0.056, p = 0.758). The mean total score of the SWAL-QOL was 75.1 ± 16.4 points. (4) Conclusions: the quality of life of the subjects related to the use of a thickener is good. Although the body mass index (BMI) and average biochemical, nutritional parameters of the subjects are within the range of normality, the MNA has detected a high percentage of subjects with the risk of malnutrition, which suggests the need for continuous re-evaluation in these patients, demonstrating the viability of the telematic route in this research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the ability of ferritin, haemoglobin, albumin and total cholesterol to identify nutritional risk and malnutrition among elderly primary care patients. METHODS The cross-sectional study included 446 elderly adults over 65 years of age from four areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition to anthropometric, functional, cognitive and biochemical indicators, nutritional status was evaluated using 24-hour recall of meals, the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), and Seniors in the Community: Risk Evaluation for Eating and Nutrition, Version II (SCREEN II). RESULTS Malnourished/at-risk study respondents had lower mean levels of haemoglobin (P=0.001) and total cholesterol (P<0.001), compared to those with normal nutritional status. Albumin levels significantly differed regarding nutritional status (P=0.004), but not nutritional risk level (P=0.521). Significant differences in serum ferritin levels were not found between malnourished and normally nourished study respondents (P=0.779) Determinants of albumin level were eating more than three meals a day (P<0.001), fewer than two portions of fruit and vegetables a day (P=0.024), drinking one glass of wine (P<0.001) and reporting functional independence (P=0.011). The AUC curves for serum ferritin, albumin and total cholesterol levels in men and women, as well as for haemoglobin levels in women, were poor to fair (AUC<0.800). CONCLUSION Although ferritin, haemoglobin, albumin and total cholesterol may be useful biomarkers of nutritional status, their accuracy in diagnosing malnutrition and nutritional risk among elderly primary health care patients is limited.

OBJECTIVE The aim of the current study is to compare Seniors in the Community: Risk Evaluation for Eating and Nutrition, version II (SCREEN II) and Mini Nutritional Assessment - Short Form (MNA-SF), where each is used to identify nutritional risk prevalence among community-dwelling people aged 65 years and above in Bosnia and Herzegovina. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. Nutritional risk assessed using the nutritionist's risk rating, anthropometric measurements, functional indicators, cognitive parameters, SCREEN II and MNA-SF. SETTING The municipalities of Foca, East Sarajevo and Bijeljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina. PARTICIPANTS Eight hundred twenty-one community-dwelling individuals aged ≥65 years. RESULTS The prevalence of high nutritional risk per nutritionist's risk rating, SCREEN II and MNA-SF was 26, 60, and 7 %, respectively. With the nutritionist's rating score ≥5 as the criterion, the MNA-SF cut-off point of ≤11 (indicating any possible risk) had poor sensitivity (55·7 %), specificity (46·6 %) and AUC (0·563; P = 0·024). When the criterion of >7 was applied, good sensitivity (95·3 %) and specificity (88·9 %) were obtained for the MNA-SF cut-off score of ≤7. AUC for this comparison was 0·742 (considered fair). Cut-off points of <54 (AUC = 0·816) and <50 (AUC = 0·881) for SCREEN II (indicating moderate to high risk) corresponded with good sensitivity (82·2 %; 80·9 %) and fair specificity (72·1 %; 75·0 %). CONCLUSION MNA-SF may have a limited role in nutritional risk screening among community-dwelling seniors in Bosnia and Herzegovina. SCREEN II has promising results in regard to validity, but further studies are warranted.

Abstract
Background and Aim The presence of malnutrition in hospitalized geriatric patients is associated with an increased risk of mortality. This study aimed to examine the performance of Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) and Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF) in predicting mortality for hospitalized geriatric patients in China. Methods A prospective analysis was performed in 536 hospitalized geriatric patients aged ≥65 years. Nutrition status was assessed using the MNA-SF and NRS2002 scales within 24 hrs of admission. Anthropometric measures and biochemical parameters were carried out for each patient. Patients were follow-up for up to 2.5 years. Results At baseline, 161 (30.04%) patients had malnutrition/nutritional risk according to NRS2002 assessment. According to MNA-SF, 284 (52.99%) patients had malnutrition/nutritional risk. Malnutrition/nutritional risk patients had lower anthropometric and biochemical parameters (P<0.05). NRS2002 and MNA-SF had a strong correlation with classical nutritional markers (P<0.05). NRS2002 versus MNA-SF showed moderate agreement (kappa=0.493, P<0.001). During a median follow-up time of 795 days (range 10-947 days), 118 (22%) participants died. The Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrated that malnutrition/nutritional risk patients according to NRS2002 or MNA-SF assessment had a higher risk of mortality than the normal nutrition patients (χ 2=17.67, P<0.001; χ 2=28.999, P<0.001, respectively). From the components of the Cox regression multivariate models, only the NRS2002 score was an independent risk factor influencing the mortality. Conclusion Both NRS2002 and MNA-SF scores could predict mortality in Chinese hospitalized geriatric patients. But only NRS2002 score was the independent predictor for mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is the primary treatment method for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) considered inoperable due to medical comorbidities. However, the application of SBRT in patients aged ≥ 75 years has not been adequately studied. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of SBRT in early-stage NSCLC patients aged ≥ 75 years, and the impact of treatment on nutritional status and self-care ability. METHODS Histopathologically confirmed early-stage (T1-3N0M0) NSCLC patients aged ≥ 75 years treated with SBRT between 2013 and 2018 at our center were identified from the electronic database. Treatment efficacy, treatment toxicities, impact of treatment on nutritional status, and self-care ability were retrospectively analyzed. Toxicities were evaluated according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (CTCAE) (Common 2010) version 4.0. Nutritional status was assessed by Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 criteria, and self-care ability by Barthel index and fall risk index. RESULTS A total of 68 patients were enrolled. Median follow-up duration was 46.3 (3.9-80.1) months. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 92.6%, 77.2%, and 59.1%, respectively, and the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year local control rates were 95.6%, 88.9% and 85.6%, respectively. Grade 1-2 and grade 3 radiation pneumonitis occurred in 60/68 (96.8%) and 1/68 (1.5%) patients, respectively. Fall risk at 3 months after treatment was not significantly different from that before treatment (P = 0.22). Barthel index increased significantly after treatment (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS SBRT appears to be effective and safe for NSCLC patients aged ≥ 75 years, with no adverse impact on nutritional status and self-care ability.
