From the identification of predictive variables, the patient should be referred to the multidisciplinary team of nutrition therapy for intervention. Were studied 300 patients from a hospital in Sao Paulo, applied with a nutritional assessment survey of risk variables and conducted a multiple logistic regression for the selection of predictors. The variables associated with malnutrition were: unintentional weight loss, apparent bones, decreased appetite, diarrhea, inadequate energy intake and male sex. A nutritional screening tool was developed and showed good agreement with validated instruments. |
