Abstract:
Objective To investigate the hospitalized patients incidence of nutritional risk and nutritional support in six departments (general surgery, thoracic surgery, gastroenterology, neurology, urology and respirology) in a middle hospital and in the medical/surgical departments in a small hospital, so provide reference for rational nutritional support for patients. Method Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 was used to assess the existence of nutritional risk and the necessity of nutritional support. Results The overall prevalence of the nutrition risk was 25% in the six departments in the middle hospital; more specifically, the prevalence of nutrition risk arranged from 18% to 31% in these six departments: 31% in the department of respiratory medicine, 29% in the department of neurology, 27% in the department of urology, 23% in the department of thoracicsurgery, 22% in the department of gastroenterology, and 18% in the department of general surgery. For those at nutritional risk, the nutritional support rate was 24%. For non-risky patients, 9% received nutritional support. The overall prevalence of nutrition risk was 18% in the small hospital; more specifically, the prevalence of nutrition risk was 29% in the department of internal medicine and 7% in the department of surgery. For those at nutritional risk, the nutritional support rate was 24%.For non-risky patients, the nutritional support rate was 4%. Conclusions Certain nutritional risk and malnutrition exist in inpatients in the middle and small hospitals in Shijiazhuang. The applications of parenteral and enteral nutritions still have some problems. It is of particular importance to further promote the application of evidence-based parenteral/enteral nutrition guidelines in middle and small hospitals to standardize the application of nutritional support.
