Malnutrition Prevalence and Consistency of Malnutrition Screening Tools and Anthropometric Measures Among Adult Cancer Patients In a Private Hospital: a Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Objectives: Malnutrition is a common complication seen among cancer patients and may affect morbidity and mortality. Thus, evaluation of nutritional status and screening for malnutrition is crucial both for prevention and intervention. In this crosssectional study, we aimed to evaluate malnutrition prevalence and compare two malnutrition screening tools and anthropometric measures among adult cancer patients.Material and Method: The study was conducted in a private hospital with 59 patients between 7th of January and 7th of April in 2016. Nutritional screening and assessment tools and measurements were applied 48 hours after the patient was admitted to the hospital. We used two tools for detecting malnutrition which are Nutritional Risk Screening-2002 NRS-2002 and Subjective Global Assessment SGA . Anthropometric measurements were body mass index BMI , triceps skinfold thickness TST , and midupper arm circumference MUAC .Results: According to NRS-2002 results, 41% of the patients were under nutritional risk and SGA results were consistent regarding malnutrition screening p
