Abstract:
Objective To screen the prevalence of nutritional risk in cirrhotic inpatients by Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and explore the relationship between nutritional risks and outcomes.Methods NRS 2002 was used to identify the nutritional risk of 200 cirrhotic inpatients between May 2010 and May 2011.The Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) grade,fatality,complications,and length of stay within 6 months were followed up to explore the relationship between nutritional risks and outcomes.Results The prevalence of nutritional risk screened by NRS 2002 was 53.5% in cirrhotic patients.The prevalence of nutritional risk was 39.0%,59.4%,and 60.0% respectively in patients with CTP grade A,B,and C (P =0.029).Compared with those without nutritional risks,patients with nutritional risks had significantly higher incidences of complications and fatality (P =0.000 and 0.013) and longer hospital stay (P =0.001).Conclusion The nutritional risk increases along with the CTP grade.Patients with nutritional risks tend to have poorer outcomes.The influence of nutrition support on the outcome of patients with liver diseases needs further research.
