Comparison of revised mini nutritional assessment-short form with the three most popular malnutrition screening tools in hospitalized elderly patients
Abstract
Aim: There is no gold standard to identify
nutritional risk (NR) at the hospitals for geriatric population. Mini
Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) is widely used at hospitals where
body mass index (BMI) measurements are not applicable for most of patients.
Thus, revised MNA-SF (rMNA-SF) including calf circumference (CC) instead of BMI
may be an alternative. There are a few studies investigating efficacy of
rMNA-SF in this group. The aim of this study was to evaluate nutritional status
(NS) in hospitalized elderly patients with MNA-SF and revised form, NR
Screening–2002 (NRS-2002), and Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST),
and to compare the results.
Materials and Methods: Elderly patients hospitalized in Internal
Medicine Department were enrolled in the study retrospectively assessing NS.with four nutritional screening tools (NST). from hospital records.
Results: A hundred patients (≥65 years) were
enrolled in the study. Any NR varied greatly, ranging from 18.4% to 86%. When
malnutrition and risk of malnutrition were evaluated together, NSTs showing the
highest frequency of NR to the lowest were rMNA-SF, MNA-SF, NRS-2002, and MUST,
respectively. While there was strong agreement between MNA-SF and rMNA-SF (κ =
0.861, P < 0.001), agreements between MUST and both NRS-2002 (κ = 0.509, P
<0.001) and rMNA-SF (κ = 0.322, P = 0.003) were moderate-poor.
Conclusions: Nutritional risk was
variable depending on the NST, and rMNA-SF may be a practical alternative for
bedridden elderly patients and/or when BMI measurements are lacking at
hospital. It should be kept in mind that NR might be overestimated.

Revize mini nütrisyonel değerlendirme-kısa form ile sık kullanılan üç malnütrisyon tarama aracının hastanede yatan yaşlı hastalarda karşılaştırılması
Abstract
Amaç: Geriatrik popülasyonda hastanede nütrisyonel riski (NR) tanımlamak için altın standart bir yöntem bulunmamaktadır. Mini Nütrisyonel Değerlendirme-Kısa Form (MNA-SF) hastanelerde sık olarak kullanılmaktadır, bu gruptaki hastaların çoğunda vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) ölçümleri yapılamamaktadır. Bu yüzden, baldır çevresi (BÇ)’ni VKİ yerine kullanan revize MNA-SF (rMNA-SF); pratik bir alternatif olabilir. Revize MNA-SF’un hastanede yaşlı hastalarda etkinliğini araştıran az sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, hastanede yatan yaşlı hastaların nütrisyonel durumlarını (ND) MNA-SF ile revize formu, Nütrisyonel Risk Taraması (NRS-2002) ve Malnütrisyon Universal Tarama Aracı (MUST) ile değerlendirmek ve sonuçları karşılaştırmaktır.
Gereç ve yöntem: İç hastalıkları Servisi’nde yatan yaşlı hastalar retrospektif olarak çalışmaya alınarak, ND hastane verilerinden dört nütrisyonel tarama testi (NTT) ile değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Yüz ≥ 65 yaş ve üzeri hasta çalışmaya alındı. Farklı tanımlarla NR %18.4 ile %86 arasında değişen oranlarda bulundu. Malnütrisyon ve malnütrisyon riski birleştiririlerek beraber değerlendirildiğinde, NR oranını en yüksekten en aza doğru gösteren NTT’leri sırasıyla; rMNA-SF, MNA-SF, NRS-2002 ve MUST idi. MNA-SF ve rMNA-SF arasında güçlü bir uyum mevcut iken (κ = 0.861, P < 0.001), MUST ile NRS-2002 (κ = 0.509, P <0.001) ve rMNA-SF (κ = 0.322, P = 0.003) arasında da orta-zayıf uyum saptandı.
Sonuç: Hastanede yatan yaşlı hastalarda NR kullanılan NTT’e bağlı olarak oldukça değişkendir ve rMNASF; yatağa bağımlılarda ve/veya VKİ ölçümü yapılamayanlarda pratik bir alternatif olabilir. Ancak NR’i yüksek olarak tahmin edebileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.
