Abstract Background: Malnutrition in intensive care unit (ICU) patients is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The nutrition risk in the critically ill score (NUTRIC) was proposed as an appropriate nutritional assessment tool in critically ill patients. This score uses interleukin-6 (IL-6), a biomarker that is not always available. This prospective observational study was conducted to identify the nutritional risk in ICU patients using the modified NUTRIC (mNUTRIC) score (which does not include IL-6) and to explore the relationship between 28-day mortality and high mNUTRIC scores.Methods: The data were extracted from The Beijing Acute Kidney Injury Trial (BAKIT). This trial was a prospective, observational, multi-centre study conducted in 30 ICUs at 28 tertiary hospitals in Beijing, China, from March 1 to August 31, 2012. In total, 9049 patients were admitted consecutively, and 3107 patients with complete clinical data were included in this study. The predictive capacity of the mNUTRIC score was studied by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The significance level was set at 5%.Results: Among the 3107 patients, the 28-day mortality rate was 17.4% (540 patients died). High nutritional risk patients were older (P<0.001), with higher illness severity scores than low nutritional risk patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that the mNUTRIC score was an independent risk factor for 28-day mortality and mortality increased with increasing scores (p = 0.000). The calculated area under curve (AUC) for the mNUTRIC score was 0.763 (CI 0.740 - 0.786).Conclusions: Nearly 28.2% of patients admitted to the ICU were at risk of malnutrition, and a high mNUTRIC score was associated with increased ICU length of stay and higher mortality.Trial Registration: This study was registered at www.chictr.org.cn (registration number Chi CTR-ONC-11001875).

Introduction. Malnutrition and weight loss in cancer patients is a common problem that affects the prognosis of the disease. In the case of CRC, malnutrition rates range between 30 and 60%. Objectives. Description of the preoperative nutritional status of patients diagnosed with colorectal neoplasia who will undergo surgery. Materials and Methods. A prospective observational study is performed. Results. Of 234 patients studied, we observed that 139 (59%) had some degree of nutritional risk. Of all of them, 44.9% (N = 47) had 1-2 points according to MUST and 25% (N = 27) had more than 2 points. No differences were found when studying nutritional risk according to the location of the neoplasm. It was observed that 2.15% of the patients were underweight, 51% overweight, and 23% obese. 19.4% of patients lost less than 5 kg in the 3–6 months prior to diagnosis, 20.7% lost between 5 and 10 kg, and 2.1% lost more than 10 kg. In asymptomatic patients, the weight loss was lower than in symptomatic patients, loss <5 kg, 8.2% vs. 22.8%, and loss 5–10 kg, 16.2% vs. 29.3%, with a value of p = 0.016 . 5% (N = 7) of the patients had hypoalbuminemia record. 16.5% (N = 23) had some degree of prealbumin deficiency and 20.9% (N = 29) of hypoproteinemia. Symptomatic patients had more frequent analytical alterations, 1-2 altered parameters in 48.8% (N = 20) of asymptomatic vs. 61.2% (N = 22) in the symptomatic, p = 0.049 .
