The prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized elderly patients (HEP) is high.
To investigate the behavior of several nutritional indicators and predictors of unfavorable clinical outcome.
Retrospective study with hospitalized elderly patients (N = 322). Nutritional instruments, indicators and outcome were investigated. Chi-square, Fisher and Mann-Whitney tests and univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis were used.
The variables that, jointly, were associated with hospital stay longer than 7 days, include: the presence of complications (p = 0.0328; OR 1.946; IC95% 1.056; 3.585) and nutritional risk according to the NRS-2002 (p = 0.0016; OR 2.080; IC95% 1.322; 3.275). The variable that remained associated with complications in the multiple model was the nutritional risk according to the NRS-2002 (p = 0.0018; OR 2.587; IC95% 1.423; 4.703).
Nutritional risk using the NRS-2002 is a predictor of clinical outcome in hospitalized elderly patients.
住院老年患者中营养不良的患病率很高。
研究几种营养指标的变化情况以及不良临床结局的预测因素。
对322例住院老年患者进行回顾性研究。调查营养评估工具、指标及结局。采用卡方检验、Fisher检验、曼-惠特尼检验以及单因素和多因素逻辑回归分析。
与住院时间超过7天相关的变量包括:存在并发症(p = 0.0328;OR 1.946;95%置信区间1.056;3.585)以及根据NRS-2002评估的营养风险(p = 0.0016;OR 2.080;95%置信区间1.322;3.275)。在多因素模型中仍与并发症相关的变量是根据NRS-2002评估的营养风险(p = 0.0018;OR 2.587;95%置信区间1.423;4.703)。
使用NRS-2002评估的营养风险是住院老年患者临床结局的一个预测因素。
