Abstract:
Objective To analyze the correlation between the scores obtained according to nutritional risk screening 2002(NRS 2002)and malnutrition level diagnosed according to global leadership initiative on malnutrition(GLIM)in district level primary hospital.Methods A retrospective study was conducted involving 361 patients with positive nutritional risk screening(NRS 2002 score ≥3 points)admitted to General Hospital Medical Communities of Shaoxing Second Hospital from November 2023 to February 2024.The patients were diagnosed for malnutrition according to GLIM criteria,and those identified with malnutrition were further evaluated for the severity of malnutrition(moderate malnutrition or severe malnutrition).Statistical methods were employed to analyze the correlation between nutritional risk screening scores and the severity of malnutrition.Results Among 361 patients with positive nutritional risk screening,179 cases were diagnosed with no malnutrition,140 cases with moderate malnutrition,and 42 cases with severe malnutrition.Analysis using Kendall's tau-b coefficient revealed a strong positive correlation between nutritional risk screening(NRS 2002)scores and malnutrition levels by GLIM criteria(Kendall's tau-b＞0.6,P＜0.0001).The occurrence of malnutrition differed significantly between age groups(＜70 years old and ≥70 years old)(P＜0.05),there is no statistically significant difference in the incidence of malnutrition between different gender groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion There was a strong positive correlation between higher nutritional risk screening scores(according to NRS 2002)and higher levels of malnutrition(according to GLIM)in the primary hospital.The prevalence of malnutrition was not related to gender,but those aged ≥ 70 years old had a higher prevalence of malnutrition compared to those aged＜70 years old.
