To evaluate the agreement between two nutritional screening tools (Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool [MUST] and Nutritional Risk Screening-2002 [NRS-2002]) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) to identify nutritional risk in patients admitted to public emergency rooms.
Cross-sectional study.
Patients aged ≥18 years who were admitted to an emergency room of a tertiary public hospital were evaluated. A nutritional risk assessment was performed in the first 48 h following hospital admission, through MUST, NRS-2002, and SGA. The Cohen's kappa coefficient was calculated.
The study included 577 patients, with an average age of 53.9 ± 15.8 years; 56% of whom were women. Prevalence of nutritional risk was 35.3% and 28.5% according to MUST and NRS-2002, respectively, and malnutrition prevalence was equal to 32.9% according to SGA. The Cohen's kappa coefficient between SGA and MUST was 0.67 and between SGA and NRS-2002 was 0.62.
MUST and NRS-2002 showed good agreement with SGA in identification of nutritional risk, suggesting that both tools have similar applicability for nutritional screening in adults or older patients admitted to public emergency rooms.
评估两种营养筛查工具(营养不良通用筛查工具[MUST]和营养风险筛查 2002 版[NRS-2002])与主观全面评估(SGA)之间的一致性,以识别入住公立急诊室患者的营养风险。
横断面研究。
评估年龄≥18 岁、入住三级公立医院急诊室的患者。在入院后 48 小时内通过 MUST、NRS-2002 和 SGA 进行营养风险评估。计算 Cohen's kappa 系数。
本研究纳入了 577 名患者,平均年龄为 53.9±15.8 岁;其中 56%为女性。根据 MUST 和 NRS-2002,营养风险的发生率分别为 35.3%和 28.5%,而 SGA 显示的营养不良发生率为 32.9%。SGA 与 MUST 之间的 Cohen's kappa 系数为 0.67,SGA 与 NRS-2002 之间的 Cohen's kappa 系数为 0.62。
MUST 和 NRS-2002 在识别营养风险方面与 SGA 具有良好的一致性,表明这两种工具在公立急诊室成年或老年患者的营养筛查中具有相似的适用性。
