Abstract

Hospital malnutrition, although well established, has remained underrecognized in health care settings. This study aimed at determining the prevalence and factors associated with hospital malnutrition in Lahore, Pakistan. A sample of 937 hospitalized patients was screened for malnutrition using a Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). More than half (59.4%) of the sample was found to be undernourished, of which 26.4% was severely malnourished (SGA-C). Age more than 60 years (odds ratio [OR] = 0.574, P < .05), comorbidities (OR = 1.388, P = .014), and specific disease conditions (cancer and renal diseases) (OR = 3.291; OR = 3.042, P < .05, respectively) increased the risk of undernourishment (SGA-B&C). High prevalence of disease-associated malnutrition among hospitalized patients urgently calls for preadmission screening.

住院成人患者营养不良

医院营养不良虽然已得到很好的证实，但在卫生保健环境中仍然没有得到充分认识。本研究旨在确定巴基斯坦拉合尔医院营养不良的患病率和相关因素。采用主观整体评估（SGA）对937名住院患者的样本进行营养不良筛查。超过一半（59.4%）的样本被发现营养不良，其中26.4%严重营养不良（SGA-C）。年龄超过60岁（比值比[OR]=0.574，P<.05）、合并症（OR=1.388，P=.014）和特定疾病（癌症和肾脏疾病）（分别为OR=3.291；OR=3.042，P<0.05）增加了营养不良的风险（SGA-B和C）。住院患者中与疾病相关的营养不良的高患病率迫切需要进行产前筛查。
