Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the prevalence of nutritional risk, undernutrition, and nutritional support in Guangzhou′s hospitals.

Methods

Totally 1682 adult patients in 6 departments (Digestive Medicine, Respiratory Medicine, Neurology Medicine, Urology Medicine, General Surgery, and Thoracic Surgery) were enrolled from April 2008 to December 2008 by fix-point consecutive sampling. Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) was performed and nutritional support was evaluated in all patients.

Results

Overall prevalence of undernutrition was 17.7% and nutritional risk was 40.0%. Among the 6 departments, Respiratory Medicine had the highest prevalence of both undernutrition and nutritional risk, which were 36.0% and 64.0%, respectively. Among all the patients, the rate of nutritional support was 31.4%, including 47.7%% of patients with nutritional risk and 20.5% of non-risk patients.

Conclusions

A large proportion of inpatients are at nutritional risk or undernutrition in Guangzhou′s hospitals. The application of nutritional support is somehow inappropriate. Evidence-based guidelines are required to improve this situation.
