Abstract
Malnutrition is common among older inpatients and can lead to severe consequences such as disability, assisted living, increased mortality, and prolonged hospital stays. Given the rapidly aging population in Vietnam, limited data is available regarding the nutritional status of the geriatric. This research aimed to determine the prevalence of malnutrition and associated factors among the hospitalized elderly. A prospective observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 108 older inpatients at University Medical Center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Patients aged 60 years or older admitted to the hospital were recruited. Malnutrition was assessed using a validated Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form. Sociodemographic characteristics were measured using interview-administered questionnaires. Data about patients' biochemical parameters were retrieved from records with the newest results. Among 108 hospitalized patients (mean age 74.6 ± 9.8 years; 50% female), 72.2% of patients had malnutrition (n = 78) while 27.8% had normal nutritional status (n = 30). Age group, education level, cohabitation, serum albumin, hand-drip strength, physical inactivity, and frailty were associated with malnutrition. The prevalence of malnutrition in the elderly accounts for a very high proportion. Nutritional status assessment is essential for the elderly; therefore, more attention should be paid to those risk factors in old age health care in order to improve medical outcomes.

Machine Learning and Clinical Predictors of Mortality in Cardiac Arrest Patients: A Comprehensive Analysis. Med Sci Monit 2024; 30:e944408. [PMID: 39126147 PMCID: PMC11323708 DOI: 10.12659/msm.944408] [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: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest (CA) is a global public health challenge. This study explored the predictors of mortality and their interactions utilizing machine learning algorithms and their related mortality odds among patients following CA. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study retrospectively investigated 161 medical records of CA patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The random forest classifier algorithm was used to assess the parameters of mortality. The best classification trees were chosen from a set of 100 trees proposed by the algorithm. Conditional mortality odds were investigated with the use of logistic regression models featuring interactions between variables. RESULTS In the logistic regression model, male sex was associated with 5.68-fold higher mortality odds. The mortality odds among the asystole/pulseless electrical activity (PEA) patients were modulated by body mass index (BMI) and among ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VF/pVT) patients were by serum albumin concentration (decrease by 2.85-fold with 1 g/dl increase). Procalcitonin (PCT) concentration, age, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), albumin, and potassium were the most influential parameters for mortality prediction with the use of the random forest classifier. Nutritional status-associated parameters (serum albumin concentration, BMI, and Nutritional Risk Score 2002 [NRS-2002]) may be useful in predicting mortality in patients with CA, especially in patients with PCT >0.17 ng/ml, as showed by the decision tree chosen from the random forest classifier based on goodness of fit (AUC score). CONCLUSIONS Mortality in patients following CA is modulated by many co-existing factors. The conclusions refer to sets of conditions rather than universal truths. For individual factors, the 5 most important classifiers of mortality (in descending order of importance) were PCT, age, hsCRP, albumin, and potassium.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The effect of preoperative malnutrition and sarcopenia on outcomes in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) after open surgical repair (OSR) and endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is undefined. The authors conducted the study to address this issue in this population. DESIGN A retrospective observational study. SETTING A large tertiary hospital. PARTICIPANTS Patients with AAA who underwent OSR and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). INTERVENTIONS Evaluation of nutritional status (Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 [NRS 2002] and the Controlling Nutritional Status [CONUT] scores), muscle size (skeletal muscle index), and postoperative parameters. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 199 patients were reviewed from January 2020 to December 2022. Patients weew categorized into group A (CONUT <4) and group B (CONUT ≥4) based on whether their CONUT scores were less than 4. The mortality (p = 0.004) and the incidence of Clavien-Dindo class III complications (p = 0.007) in group B were higher than those in group A. CONUT score was an independent risk factor for midterm mortality (hazard ratio 1.329; 95% CI, 1.104-1.697; p = 0.002) and Clavien-Dindo class III complications (odds ratio 1.225; 95% CI, 1.012-1.482; p = 0.037) according to univariate and multivariate analyses, whereas NRS 2002 score and sarcopenia were not. Kaplan-Meier curves showed a lower midterm survival rate in group B (log-rank p < 0.001). CONCLUSION In patients with AAA undergoing OSR or EVAR, a CONUT score ≥4 was associated with increased Clavien-Dindo class III complications and mortality. Preoperative nutritional status should be evaluated and optimized in this high-risk population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty often results from deteriorating muscle strength and decreased physical function in older adults. Frailty includes not only physical components, but also psychological and social aspects. Previous research has shown that exercise programs, especially resistance exercises combined with nutritional care, can reduce frailty. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop a Frailty Prevention Care Management Program that prevents frailty and improves physical activity and nutrition compared to usual care for community-dwelling older adults. METHODS A quasi-experimental and single-blinded trial with a non-equivalent control group using a before-after design will be performed involving Frailty Prevention Care Management Program interventions, taking place both at the communities. Participants will be divided into two different intervention groups and two control groups. All groups will be assessed three times: at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months post intervention. A total of 72 community-dwelling older adults are recruited. This intervention includes an exercise program (design TRX program) and nutritional education. The control group will not receive any specific exercise training. The primary outcome shall comprise the effect of the Frailty Prevention Care Management Program on frailty using the Taiwanese version of the Tilburg frailty indicator. Secondary outcomes include the effect of physical activity using the Senior Fitness Test and nutrition measures using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form. A generalized estimating equation is constructed to analyze the effects of the intervention. CONCLUSIONS This trial will provide vital information to guide interventions to improve outcomes (frailty, physical activity, and nutrition) and inform the integration of nutrition and TRX exercises in community-dwelling older adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown a relationship between calf circumference (CC) and outcomes in hospitalized patients. AIMS To investigate the relationship between CC and clinical and nutritional outcomes in older in-patients (OiP) in a surgery ward. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study with 417 OiP in a surgery ward. Clinical variables, anthropometry, and nutritional screening instruments such as subjective global assessment (SGA), mini nutritional assessment (MNA), and nutritional risk screening (NRS) were used in the investigation. The tests Pearson's chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman's coefficient, and multiple linear regression analyses were used to review the factors associated with CC. RESULTS Lower CC values were found in the age group 80 years and over (p<0.0001), presence of complications (p=0.0269), NRS (p<0.0001), SGA (p<0.0001), and MNA (p<0.0001). Gender (p=0.0011; partial R2=0.01151), age (p=0.0002; partial R2=0.06032), body mass index (p≤0.0001; partial R2=0.40820), and arm circumference (p≤0.0001; partial R2=0.11890) are variables that together were associated with CC. There was also a relationship between SGA (p=0.0166; partial R2=0.00605) and absence of complications during hospitalization (p=0.0047; R2=0.01154) with CC. CONCLUSIONS Gender, age, body mass index, and arm circumference were jointly associated with CC, in addition to SGA and absence of complications. The CC is a relevant indicator for OiP in the clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Estimates of survival in the older can be of benefit in various facets, particularly in medical and individual decision-making. We aim to validate the value of a combination of nutrition status evaluation and comorbidity assessment in predicting long-term survival among community-dwelling older. METHODS The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was applied for comprehensive evaluation of comorbidities. Participants were classified into CCI score ≤ 2 and ≥ 3 subgroups. Nutritional status was assessed by using Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) evaluations. Mortality rates and survival curves over a 5-year period were compared among subgroups classified by CCI and/or MNA-SF/GNRI evaluations. RESULTS A total of 1033 elderly male participants were enrolled in this study, with an average age of 79.44 ± 8.61 years. 108 deceased participants (10.5%) were identified during a follow-up of 5 years. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that age, CCI, MNA-SF and GNRI were independent predictors of 5-year all-cause death in this cohort. Compared to those with normal nutrition status and CCI ≤ 2, the subgroup at risk of malnutrition and CCI ≥ 3 had a significantly higher 5-year all-cause mortality rate (HR = 4.671; 95% CI:2.613-8.351 for MNA-SF and HR = 7.268; 95% CI:3.401-15.530 for GNRI; P < 0.001 for both). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that a combination of either MNA-SF or GNRI with CCI had significantly better performance than CCI, MNA-SF or GNRI alone in predicting all-cause death. CONCLUSION The combination of nutritional assessment (MNA-SF or GNRI) with CCI can significantly improve the predictive accuracy of long-term mortality outcomes among community-dwelling older males.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several nutritional diagnosis methods and their relationship with clinical outcomes have been described. This study investigated malnutrition in hospitalized elderly patients (HEP) using different nutritional indicators and determined criteria to identify malnutrition and explore the variables that discriminate the risk of malnutrition. METHOD Cross-sectional study with 500 HEP; different methods of nutritional diagnosis, their relationship with clinical outcomes and criteria for defining malnutrition were investigated. The GLIM criteria for the diagnosis of malnutrition was applied in this study. In the statistical analysis, the Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney test, univariate and multiple logistic regression and the ROC curve were used. RESULTS Patients aged 65-79 years, at nutritional risk or with malnutrition, had longer hospital stays (p = 0.0099; OR = 1.047; 95% CI = 1.011; 1.084) and lower body mass index (BMI) (p < 0.0001; OR = 0.867 (1153)); 95% CI = 0.813; 0.924 (1085; 1225). Patients aged ≥80 years had a lower BMI (p = 0.0053; OR = 0.779 (1284); 95% CI = 0.653; 0.928 (1078; 1531)). Accuracy was significant in both age groups for BMI (p < 0.0001; 65-79 years and p = 0.001; ≥80 years); for the lymphocyte count (p = 0.0167; 65-79 years and p = 0.0028; ≥80 years), and for the calf circumference (CC) (p < 0.0001; 65-79 years and p = 0.001; ≥80 years). Using the GLIM criteria, 27.78% of patients were considered malnourished. CC showed good accuracy, good specificity, but low sensitivity while BMI was more accurate to detect malnutrition in both age groups. CONCLUSION CC showed good accuracy, good specificity, but low sensitivity to detect malnutrition. BMI was more accurate in both age groups to detect malnutrition.

Abstract
Background and aimsMalnutrition is widely present in elderly surgical patients and is highly correlated with prognosis after surgery. However, studies comparing the effectiveness of comprehensive nutritional screening tools in geriatric surgical patients have not yet been published. The nutritional risk among elderly orthopedic and neurosurgical patients and their associated clinical indicators and outcomes was assessed using four screening tools. The aim of this study was to explore suitable tools for screening the nutritional status and identify their potential to act as prognostic indicators.MethodsThe Nutritional Risk Score 2002 (NRS2002), Mini Nutritional Assessment - Short Form (MNA-SF), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) were all performed within two days of admission and before surgery. The relationships between nutritional risk classifications and conventional nutritional markers, complications and length of hospital stay (LOS) were evaluated.ResultsIn this study, a total of 167 orthopedic patients and 103 neurosurgical patients were evaluated. In neurosurgical patients, the rates of malnutrition or patients at risk of malnutrition according to the MNA-SF, GNRI, NRS2002 and PNI were 26.4, 24.6, 8.4, and 12.6%, respectively. According to the NRS2002 and PNI, the rates of old neurosurgical patients who were malnourished or at risk of malnutrition were 14.6 and 3.9%, respectively, which were lower than the results assessed by the MNA-SF (24.3%) and GNRI (15.5%). Multiple regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between the PNI (malnourished vs.well-nourished, OR = 5.39, 95% CI:1.11-26.18, P = 0.037), GNRI (at risk vs.no risk, OR = 3.96, 95% CI: 1.01-15.45, P = 0.048) and the complications in orthopedic patients. Only GNRI was significantly related to LOS > 7 days (at risk vs.no risk, OR = 4.01, 95% CI: 1.64-9.80, P = 0.002). For neurosurgical patients, an association between GNRI and LOS > 8 days was discovered (at risk vs.no risk, OR = 3.35, 95% CI: 1.03-10.86, P = 0.002).ConclusionAmong the four nutritional risk screening tools, the GNRI exhibited better predictive value for short-term outcomes in elderly perioperative orthopedic and neurosurgical patients, thereby suggesting that it might be a more suitable tool for nutritional risk screening. Additional studies are required to determine the applicability of GNRI in other surgical fields.

Abstract
Objective Sarcopenia is a prevalent condition in the senior population and has been related to adverse outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the performance of the serum creatinine/cystatin C ratio (Cr/CysC) in predicting all-cause mortality in elders over 80 years. Methods A total of 486 older patients over 80 were enrolled in this study. Calf circumference (CC) and handgrip strength (HGS) were carried out for each patient. All the participants accepted serum creatinine and cystatin C test. The primary clinical outcome was all-cause mortality during an over-4-year follow-up. Results During an over 4-year follow-up, 200 participants died. The non-survivors had a significantly lower baseline Cr/CysC level than the survivors (62.6 ± 13.1 vs. 71.4 ± 14.5 P < 0.001). The lowest Cr/CysC quartile group (Q1) had a significantly higher mortality rate than their counterparts (Q1 vs. Q2-4, 62.8% vs. 33.2%, P < 0.001). The Cr/CysC level was positively correlated with CC (R2 = 0.17, P < 0.001) and HGS (R2 = 0.19, P < 0.001). Moreover, survival curve was significantly worse in the lowest Cr/CysC quartile (Log-rank test χ2 = 21.09, P < 0.001). After adjustment for potential confounders, age (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.06-1.14, P < 0.001), coronary heart disease (HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.01-2.21, P = 0.045), and lowest Cr/CysC (HR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.12-2.24, P = 0.009) were independent factors of all-cause mortality during the over-4-year follow-up. Conclusion Cr/CysC, also known as Sarcopenia Index, could be used as a predictor of all-cause mortality in older adults over 80 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional risk is common among patients admitted to the emergency department and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Despite its large population, few comprehensive studies have been conducted in China concerning the nutritional status of patients admitted to emergency department observation units (EDOUs). METHODS Patients admitted to EDOUs of 90 tertiary hospitals in China between June 2020 and December 2020 were enrolled. Demographic information, laboratory parameters, nutritional support therapies, and 28-day mortality were recorded. Risk factors for mortality were examined using multi-variate-adjusted logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for each predictor of mortality were plotted, and the area under the ROC (AUROC) curves was compared. RESULTS A total of 2,005 eligible patients were finally enrolled. At the 28-day follow-up, 1,911 patients survived, and 94 died. The group with a Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score of 3-4 points was the largest (52.01%). The number of patients receiving oral nutritional supplements, enteral nutrition (EN), parenteral nutrition (PN), and the combination of EN and PN was 425, 314, 853, and 413, respectively. Among the total, 77.55% of patients had nutritional risk (NRS 2002 ≥3). The proportion of patients with high nutritional risk (NRS2002≥5) in the age group >80 years was significantly higher than that in the age group 66-80 years (29.00% vs. 23.93%, P=0.032), but not significantly higher than that in the age group 18-65 years (29.00% vs. 26.54%, P=0.449). Logistic regression analysis revealed that heart failure (odds ratio [OR] 1.856, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.087-3.167, P=0.023), consciousness (OR 2.967, 95% CI 1.894-4.648, P<0.001), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score (OR 1.037, 95% CI 1.017-1.058, P<0.001), NRS 2002 score (OR 1.286, 95% CI 1.115-1.483, P=0.001), and Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form score (OR 0.946, 95% CI 0.898-0.997, P=0.039) were all independent risk factors for 28-day mortality. APACHE II and NRS 2002 scores were superior to other predictors according to the comparison of AUROC. CONCLUSIONS Nutritional risk is prevalent among older patients in EDOUs in China. APACHE II and NRS 2002 scores are important risk factors for mortality in patients admitted to the EDOU. Timely and appropriate nutritional screening and support measures are critical to reduce patients' length of hospital stay and mortality.

Abstract
Objective Malnutrition is very commonly encountered in palliative care centers (PCC), especially in geriatric patients. It is known that development of malnutrition increases morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of commonly used nutritional assessment parameters in predicting prognosis in geriatric patients diagnosed in PCC with malnutrition. Methods Our study included 1451 patients aged ≥65 years, who were diagnosed with malnutrition in PCC between 2016-2020 and did not yet start receiving nutritional support. Demographic data, comorbidities, The Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002), body mass index (BMI), albumin, prealbumin and C-reactive protein (CRP) values of the patients were recorded. Prognostic course was evaluated by dividing the patients into 3 groups, namely mortal patients during PCC follow-up, patients transferred from PCC to Intensive Care (ICU) and patients discharged to home from PCC. Results Logistic Regression analysis showed that low albumin levels affected transfer to ICU (P<0.05). Elevated NRS-2002 and low albumin and prealbumin levels were found to be factors affecting mortality (P<0.05). Areas under the ROC Curve were calculated to attain patients' differential diagnosis. The area under the ROC Curve of low albumin in patients transferred to ICU was found to be significant (P<0.05). In the differential diagnosis of patients with mortal course, the area under the ROC Curve of low albumin and prealbumin and high CRP was found to be significant (P<0.05). Conclusion We found that BMI had no prognostic predictive effects in geriatric PCC patients with malnutrition. We concluded that NRS-2002 and high CRP and low albumin and prealbumin can be used to predict mortality. In addition, we found that low albumin indicates a poor prognosis and predicts patients to be transferred to ICU.

Front Nutr 2022; 9:1007885. [PMID: 36570140 PMCID: PMC9773874 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.1007885] [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: 07/31/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The present study aimed to evaluate the value of Modified Nutrition Risk in Critically ill (mNUTRIC) and Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) in the prognosis of severely burned patients. Methods The retrospective cohort study used medical data of severely burned patients admitted to the burn center of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital between January 2015 and September 2021. Demographics, clinical characteristics, laboratory nutritional indicators, mNUTRIC score and NRS2002 score were collected and analyzed in evaluation the value of two nutrition risk screening tools. Spearman correlation analysis was carried out to show the correlation between variables. The area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the ability of mNUTRIC and NRS2002 to predict mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank tests were conducted to compare the overall survival (OS). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to identify risk factors for 28-day mortality of severely burned patients. Results A total of 429 adult patients with burn area larger than 30% total body surface area (TBSA) were included in this study. Incidence of nutrition risk was detected in 52.21% by mNUTRIC and 20.51% by NRS2002. However, mNUTRIC was superior to NRS2002 in predicting 28-day mortality (area under ROC curve: 0.795 vs. 0.726). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high mNUTRIC [hazard ratio (HR) = 4.265, 95% CI = 1.469-12.380, P = 0.008] and TBSA (HR = 1.056, 95% CI = 1.033-1.079, P < 0.001) were independent predictors for 28-day mortality. After adjusting for covariates, high NRS2002 was not associated with 28-day mortality (P = 0.367). Conclusion The present study illustrated the effectiveness of mNUTRIC as nutrition risk screening tool among severely burned patients. Early identification of nutrition risk may help to maximize benefits of nutritional therapy by providing more aggressive nutritional therapy for patients at nutrition risk.

Abstract
Background: Malnutrition is highly prevalent in medical inpatients and may also negatively influence clinical outcomes of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. We analyzed the prognostic implication of different malnutrition parameters with respect to adverse clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Methods: In this observational study, consecutively hospitalized adult patients with confirmed COVID-19 at the Cantonal Hospital Aarau (Switzerland) were included between February and December 2020. The association between Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) on admission, body mass index, and admission albumin levels with in-hospital mortality and secondary endpoints was studied by using multivariable regression analyses. Results: Our analysis included 305 patients (median age of 66 years, 66.6% male) with a median NRS 2002-score of 2.0 (IQR 1.0, 3.0) points. Overall, 44 patients (14.4%) died during hospitalization. A step-wise increase in mortality risk with a higher nutritional risk was observed. When compared to patients with no risk for malnutrition (NRS 2002 < 3 points), patients with a moderate (NRS 2002 3−4 points) or high risk for malnutrition (NRS 2002 ≥ 5 points) had a two-fold and five-fold increase in risk, respectively (10.5% vs. 22.7% vs. 50.0%, p < 0.001). The increased risk for mortality was also confirmed in a regression analysis adjusted for gender, age, and comorbidities (odds ratio for high risk for malnutrition 4.68, 95% CI 1.18 to 18.64, p = 0.029 compared to patients with no risk for malnutrition). Conclusions: In patients with COVID-19, the risk for malnutrition was a risk factor for in-hospital mortality. Future studies should investigate the role of nutritional treatment in this patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify the most appropriate nutritional risk screening tool for patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery, five nutritional screening tools, including the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002), Short Form of Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA-SF), Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) and Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), were employed to evaluate the nutritional risk at admission and short-term clinical outcome prediction. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING A comprehensive affiliated hospital of a university in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China. PARTICIPANTS 301 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer were continuously recruited to complete the study from October 2020 to May 2021. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Within 48 hours of hospital admission, five nutritional screening tools were used to measure the nutritional risk and to determine their relationship with postoperative short-term clinical outcomes. RESULTS The nutritional risk assesed by the five tools ranged from 25.2% to 46.2%. Taking the Subject Global Assessment as the diagnostic standard, MNA-SF had the best consistency (κ=0.570, p<0.001) and MST had the highest sensitivity (82.61%). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis after adjusting confounding factors showed that the NRS 2002 score ≥3 (OR 2.400, 95% CI 1.043 to 5.522) was an independent risk factor for postoperative complications and was the strongest predictor of postoperative complications (area under the curve 0.621, 95% CI 0.549 to 0.692). The scores of NRS 2002 (r=0.131, p<0.001), MNA-SF (r=0.115, p<0.05) and NRI (r=0.187, p<0.05) were poorly correlated with the length of stay. There was no correlation between the five nutritional screening tools and hospitalisation costs (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Compared with the other four nutritional screening tools, we found that NRS 2002 is the most appropriate nutritional screening tool for Chinese patients with colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized elderly patients (HEP) is high. OBJECTIVE To investigate the behavior of several nutritional indicators and predictors of unfavorable clinical outcome. METHODS Retrospective study with hospitalized elderly patients (N = 322). Nutritional instruments, indicators and outcome were investigated. Chi-square, Fisher and Mann-Whitney tests and univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis were used. RESULTS The variables that, jointly, were associated with hospital stay longer than 7 days, include: the presence of complications (p = 0.0328; OR 1.946; IC95% 1.056; 3.585) and nutritional risk according to the NRS-2002 (p = 0.0016; OR 2.080; IC95% 1.322; 3.275). The variable that remained associated with complications in the multiple model was the nutritional risk according to the NRS-2002 (p = 0.0018; OR 2.587; IC95% 1.423; 4.703). CONCLUSION Nutritional risk using the NRS-2002 is a predictor of clinical outcome in hospitalized elderly patients.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Background The prevalence of hospitalized elderly patients has grown substantially and has impacted the hospital health services. Thus, it is believed that an investigation of the nutritional status associated with different clinical situations in elderly patients could contribute to multidisciplinary hospital intervention and nutritional care actions suitable for this population. Objective To investigate the relationship between two nutritional screening instruments in hospitalized older patients and to compare clinical variables between these two instruments. Methods Retrospective study with hospitalized older patients (n=277), investigating the agreement between two nutritional screening instruments. The data were analyzed using the McNemar, chi-square, Fisher, Mann-Whitney tests and the kappa coefficient for the agreement assessment. Results There was a significant difference (P=0.0002) between the nutritional risk classifications of the two nutritional screening instruments and moderate agreement (k=0.5430) between them. The association between nutritional risk screening and age (P=0.0255), length of hospital stay (P<0.0001), gender (P=0.0365) and illness (P=0.0001) were assessed. There was an association between Mini Nutritional Assessment and length of stay (P<0.0001), illness (P=0.0001) and body weight evolution (P=0.0479). Conclusion The nutritional risk screening and Mini Nutritional Assessment showed moderate agreement in the assessment of elderly patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic disorders and malnutrition are a double burden worldwide. The aim was to determine whether low calf circumference (CC) could predict nutritional risk and the cut-off values of CC for predicting nutritional risk in metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients aged over 80 years. We aimed to evaluate the risk factors for predicting mortality in MetS. METHODS A total of 514 patients aged over 80 years with MetS were enrolled and followed for 2.5 years. On admission, demographic data, CC, and laboratory parameters were obtained. Patients with a Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) total score ≥ 3 were considered to have nutritional risk. RESULTS The CC level was significantly lower in the nutritional risk group than in the non-nutritional risk with MetS group (27.1 ± 4.0 cm vs. 30.8 ± 3.9 cm). Logistic regression analysis of nutritional risk revealed that increasing CC (adjusted OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.74-0.88) was an independent protective factor against nutrition risk. The best CC cut-off value for predicting nutritional risk according to the NRS 2002 was 28.8 cm. Cox regression multivariate models showed nutritional risk (HR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.22-5.04) and decreased CC (HR, 2.78; 95% CI, 1.27-5.98) remained independent risk factors for mortality. CONCLUSION Decreased CC could predict not only nutritional risk but also mortality in MetS patients aged over 80 years. The elderly who had MetS with nutritional risk should be discovered early, early intervention and early treatment. CC may be a valuable index to screen out this population.

Effects of Sarcopenic Obesity and Its Confounders on Knee Range of Motion Outcome after Total Knee Replacement in Older Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Retrospective Study. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13113817.

Abstract
Sarcopenic obesity is closely associated with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and has high risk of total knee replacement (TKR). In addition, poor nutrition status may lead to sarcopenia and physical frailty in KOA and is negatively associated with surgery outcome after TKR. This study investigated the effects of sarcopenic obesity and its confounding factors on recovery in range of motion (ROM) after total knee replacement (TKR) in older adults with KOA. A total of 587 older adults, aged ≥60 years, who had a diagnosis of KOA and underwent TKR, were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. Sarcopenia and obesity were defined based on cutoff values of appendicular mass index and body mass index for Asian people. Based on the sarcopenia and obesity definitions, patients were classified into three body-composition groups before TKR: sarcopenic-obese, obese, and non-obese. All patients were asked to attend postoperative outpatient follow-up admissions. Knee flexion ROM was measured before and after surgery. A ROM cutoff of 125 degrees was used to identify poor recovery post-surgery. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis was performed to measure the probability of poor ROM recovery among study groups. Cox multivariate regression models were established to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) of postoperative poor ROM recovery, using potential confounding factors including age, sex, comorbidity, risk of malnutrition, preoperative ROM, and outpatient follow-up duration as covariates. Analyses results showed that patients in the obese and sarcopenic-obese groups had a higher probability of poor ROM recovery compared to the non-obese group (all p < 0.001). Among all body-composition groups, the sarcopenic-obese group yielded the highest risk of postoperative physical difficulty (adjusted HR = 1.63, p = 0.03), independent to the potential confounding factors. Sarcopenic obesity is likely at the high risk of poor ROM outcome following TKR in older individuals with KOA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to understand the diet-related behaviors of Hainan centenarians and to analyze dietary factors that affect their nutritional status. METHODS Data were collected from the China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study, a full sample survey including questionnaires, physical examinations, and physiologic indices of the centenarian population. The study included 1002 centenarians. The diet-related behaviors were assessed using the food frequency questionnaire; nutritional status was determined according to the Mini Nutritional Assessment - short form scale scores. We used logistic regression models to analyze the main dietary risk factors of malnutrition. RESULTS Of all the centenarians, 94.6% maintained regular meals, 80.4% had three meals a day, 53.4% ate each meal until 80% full, 88.7% ate vegetables daily, and 70% drank one to two cups of water daily. Centenarians ate rice-based staple foods; eggs, dairy, legumes, nuts, and poultry were not popular. The main sources of meat were red meat and seafood. None liked fried food, and 19.3% preferred sweet flavors. People with normal nutritional status accounted for 12.3% of the population, whereas those with malnutrition comprised 20.8%. Dietary factors that affected nutritional status included three meals a day (odds ratio [OR], 0.366; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.173-0.778), tea drinking (OR, 0.236; 95% CI, 0.087-0.641), and the frequency of poultry (OR, 0.261; 95% CI, 0.088-0.771), seafood (OR, 0.247; 95% CI, 0.110-0.554), nuts (OR, 0.381; 95% CI, 0.150-0.965), and pastry (OR, 0.219; 95% CI, 0.080-0.600) consumption. CONCLUSION This was the first study on the dietary behaviors and nutritional status of centenarians using survey data. We highlighted the factors affecting nutritional status and provided scientific support for dietary strategies that may improve the nutritional status of the elderly population.

[PMID: 33466724 PMCID: PMC7828813 DOI: 10.3390/nu13010225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Revised: 01/05/2021] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare two widely recommended short nutrition assessment tools—Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) and Subjective Global Assessment Form (SGA)—with other Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) measurements. The study included 622 consecutively hospitalized older subjects, aged 81.7 ± 7.8 years. The criteria to participate were the ability to communicate and given consent. Both NRS-2002 and SGA were inversely related to anthropometric measurements, functional assessment tests, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and positively associated with the Vulnerable Elders Survey-13 (VES-13) score. Results of SGA and NRS-2002 were not related to sex and 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) score. Comparison of well-nourished subjects and patients with suggested problems with nutrition according to NRS-2002 (0–2 vs. 3–7) and SGA (A vs. B + C) gave comparable results. Both nutritional scales at given cut-off points similarly discriminated anthropometric data and other CGA tools in the populations of well-nourished vs. malnourished hospitalized older subjects. In conclusion, we can recommend using both NRS-2002 and SGA to detect malnutrition or risk of malnutrition in a routine clinical practice of the geriatric department ward.

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.

[PMID: 33076841 PMCID: PMC7574465 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-020-01830-2] [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: 07/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty is now seen as a significant factor in older people with diabetes, whose mortality and disability increased. This study aims to investigate the association between calf circumference (CC) with frailty in diabetic adults aged over 80 years. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was performed on the data of 426 diabetic adults aged over 80 years. On admission, demographic data and laboratory parameters were recorded. CC was measured on the lower right leg at the point of the maximal circumference. All participants accepted frailty assessments. Frailty was mainly defined using the Fried frailty phenotype criteria. RESULTS The CC levels were significantly lower in the frail than the non-frail (26.7 ± 4.0 vs. 31.2 ± 4.0, P < 0.001). CC was negatively correlated with the Fried frailty phenotype index (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis of frailty revealed that age (Odds Ratio (OR), 1.368; 95% Confidential Interval (CI) 1.002-1.869; P = 0.049), CC (OR, 0.756; 95%CI 0.598-0.956; P = 0.019) were independent impact factors of frailty after adjusting all the potential confounders. Participants with low CC tertile had a significantly higher Fried frailty phenotype index than those with high CC tertiles. The best CC cut-off value for predicting frailty was 29.3 cm, its sensitivity was 75.0%, and the specificity was 78.6%, and areas under the curve (AUC) was 0.786 (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS CC was strongly related to frailty in diabetic adults aged over 80 years, suggesting that CC may be helpful for monitoring physical frailty in older adults in clinical and research settings.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with high risk of malnutrition, primarily in older people; assessing nutritional risk using appropriate screening tools is critical. This systematic review identified applicable tools and assessed their measurement properties. Literature was searched in the MEDLINE, Embase, and LILACS databases. Four studies conducted in China met the eligibility criteria. Sample sizes ranged from six to 182, and participants' ages from 65 to 87 years. Seven nutritional screening and assessment tools were used: the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002), the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), the MNA-short form (MNA-sf), the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), the Geriatric NRI (GNRI), and modified Nutrition Risk in the Critically ill (mNUTRIC) score. Nutritional risk was identified in 27.5% to 100% of participants. The NRS-2002, MNA, MNA-sf, NRI, and MUST demonstrated high sensitivity; the MUST had better specificity. The MNA and MUST demonstrated better criterion validity. The MNA-sf demonstrated better predictive validity for poor appetite and weight loss; the NRS-2002 demonstrated better predictive validity for prolonged hospitalization. mNUTRIC score demonstrated good predictive validity for hospital mortality. Most instruments demonstrate high sensitivity for identifying nutritional risk, but none are acknowledged as the best for nutritional screening in older adults with COVID-19.

Comparison of the value of malnutrition and sarcopenia for predicting mortality in hospitalized old adults over 80 years. Exp Gerontol 2020; 138:111007. [PMID: 32590128 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2020.111007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2020] [Revised: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the prognostic value of malnutrition and sarcopenia for mortality in old adults over 80 years. METHODS A prospective analysis was performed in 427 hospitalized old adults. Anthropometric measures and biochemical parameters were carried out for each patient. Sarcopenia was defined according to the revised consensus definition of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2). Malnutrition was defined according to the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) criteria. Mortality data were available for up to 32 months of follow-up. RESULTS The overall prevalence of sarcopenia and malnutrition was 35.1% and 19.4%, respectively. The percentage of coexistence of sarcopenia and malnutrition was 12.2%. Of the 427 participants, 83 deaths were reported during the mean follow-up periods of 24.9 months. Compared with non-sarcopenic subjects with well-nutrition, sarcopenic subjects with well-nutrition and non-sarcopenic subjects with well-nutrition had higher mortality risk (Hazard Ratio (HR), 2.36; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.31-4.24, P < 0.001; HR, 4.33; 95% CI, 2.12-8.85, P = 0.004; respectively). The patients who coexisted with sarcopenia and malnutrition had the highest risk of mortality (HR, 7.31; 95% CI, 4.21-12.69, P < 0.001). Both sarcopenia and malnutrition could predict mortality separately. Still, from the components of the Cox regression multivariate models, the malnutrition was one of the independent factors influencing the death, sarcopenia was not. CONCLUSION When malnutrition and sarcopenia were compared together in a longitude cohort, malnutrition was an independent risk factor for mortality, while sarcopenia was not. The coexistence of malnutrition and sarcopenia showed a synergistically accumulated risk for death.
