Children often experience malnutrition while they are hospitalized. Therefore, the prevention of malnutrition and nutritional management need to be done properly using malnutrition screening tools. This study aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Pediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Score (PYMS) and the Screening Tool for the Risk of Impaired Nutritional Status and Growth (STRONGkids) when compared to the Subjective Global Nutritional Assessment for Children (SGNA). This study involved 81 pediatric patients with ages ranging from 1 to 16 years old. The two screening tools and the SGNA were examined in each subject. The results of this study determined that the sensitivity and specificity of the PYMS were 95.7% and 66.7%, respectively, while in the STRONGkids they were 52.2% and 41.7%, respectively. This indicates that the PYMS is the most appropriate malnutrition screening tool to be used for a malnutrition screening policy.
儿童在住院期间经常会出现营养不良的情况。因此，需要使用营养不良筛查工具妥善地进行营养不良的预防和营养管理。本研究旨在确定与儿童主观全面营养评估（SGNA）相比，儿科约克希尔营养不良评分（PYMS）和营养状况及生长发育受损风险筛查工具（STRONGkids）的敏感性和特异性。本研究纳入了81名年龄在1至16岁之间的儿科患者。对每个受试者都进行了这两种筛查工具和SGNA的检测。本研究结果表明，PYMS的敏感性和特异性分别为95.7%和66.7%，而STRONGkids的敏感性和特异性分别为52.2%和41.7%。这表明PYMS是用于营养不良筛查政策的最合适的营养不良筛查工具。
