Prevalence and predictive importance for short-term clinical outcomes of GLIM-defined malnutrition among adult inpatients: A nationwide cross-sectional study
Background & aims
Malnutrition is a significant health issue in hospital settings, with persistent diagnostic challenges. Despite the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria providing a standardised approach, nationwide validation and implementation remain limited. We aimed to estimate the national prevalence of GLIM-defined malnutrition among Chinese adult inpatients and assess the predictive value of the GLIM criteria for short-term clinical outcomes.
Methods
We conducted the China Nutrition Fundamental Data 2022 project among adult inpatients from 322 sites across 31 provinces in China between February and October 2023. Malnutrition was defined using the GLIM criteria through a standardised two-step process. The clinical outcomes included discharge outcomes, length of stay, hospitalisation costs, and 30-day mortality. We used logistic and multiple linear regression analyses to examine the association between malnutrition severity and clinical outcomes.
Results
The final analysis included 61,283 individuals. Malnutrition was prevalent in 24.6 % of the inpatients (moderate malnutrition: 13.8 %; severe malnutrition: 10.8 %). A dose–response relationship was observed between malnutrition severity and adverse clinical outcomes: moderate and severe malnutrition increased the risk of ineffective discharge outcomes by 1.533 (95 % CI: 1.362–1.725) and 2.200 (1.958–2.473) times, respectively, and 30-day mortality by 1.875 times (1.408–2.496) and 3.065 (2.332–4.028) times, respectively. Additionally, moderate and severe malnutrition were linked to a 0.97-day and 1.20-day increases in hospital stays, respectively.
Conclusions
Malnutrition is prevalent among adult Chinese inpatients and strongly associated with adverse clinical outcomes. GLIM-based assessments and interventions are essential to reduce the burden of malnutrition.
