Nutritional Risk Screening

Em hospitais, o objetivo de um procedimento de triagem nutricional é identificar indivíduos desnutridos ou em risco de desnutrição, possibilitando intervenção nutricional precoce e melhor alocação de recursos. Diferentes métodos são apresentados na literatura para esta finalidade: Malnutrition Screening Tool, Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire, Nutritional Risk Index, Nutrition Risk Score, Nutritional Risk Screening, Mini Nutritional Assessment, Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool, Nutritional Screening Tool, Nutritional Screening Equation. No entanto, o emprego de muitos destes instrumentos está limitado pela inadequada metodologia empregada na derivação e/ou validação, pela seleção de grupos específicos de pacientes, pela pouca praticidade ou por necessidade de um especialista para seu emprego. Na ausência de um padrão de referência para emitir o diagnóstico nutricional, desfechos clínicos relevantes devem balizar a derivação e a validação de novos instrumentos. Este trabalho descreve os instrumentos de triagem nutricional acima referidos e apresenta considerações quanto ao seu emprego para adultos hospitalizados não selecionados.

Nutritional Risk Index

Objective: Chronic kidney disease and malnutrition are serious and frequently encountered co-morbidities among older patients. We evaluated nutritional status of older pre-dialysis patients and the effect of malnutrition on length of stay (LOS) in hospital. Materials and Methods: 65 years and over 33 hospitalized pre-dialysis patients with glomerular filtration rate between 10-30ml/min/1.73m2 were included. There is no control group. For all patients, biochemical analysis was performed. The malnutrition risk was evaluated with Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF) and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and LOS in hospital was recorded. Results: Mean GNRI was 98.4±12.9 and the mean MNA-SF was 8±3.15. For all patients, mean LOS was 10.58±9 days. According to MNA-SF, malnourished patients’ LOS was longer and a difference was observed between MNA-SF and GNRI in terms of LOS prediction (p=0.005, p=0.230). Conclusion: For older pre-dialysis patients, MNA-SF is probably a more sensitive index in terms of LOS in hospital prediction.
