Application of modified pediatric malnutrition risk screening tool in hospitalized children

??Objective??To use the modified pediatric malnutrition risk screening tool to investigate the prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized children and assess the clinical effectiveness of the screening tool??to provide the basis for nutritional assessment and reasonable nutrition support. Methods??Choose hospitalized children in Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University of Medicine from August 2014 to September 2015 as the investigation subjects. The modified pediatric malnutrition risk screening tool was used to further explore the relationship between results of nutritional risk screening and the clinical outcome. Results??The screening results showed that the total incidence of malnutrition in 2632 hospitalized children was 53.2%. The younger the hospitalized children were??the higher the incidence of malnutrition risk was??χ2??59.89??P??0.05??. There was statistical difference among children with different diseases in incidence of malnutrition risk??χ2??425.12??P??0.05????and the incidence of malnutrition was higher in the alimentary system disease group??70.1%?? and hematological malignancies group??86.7%?? than in other disease groups. In the absence of nutritional support??the lengthof hospital stay of children with malnutrition was significantly longer??Z??-9.293??P??0.05????and there was a significant difference in the outcome of the disease??χ2??4.937??P??0.05????the incidence of complications during hospitalization had a rising trend??but the difference was not statistically significant??χ2??2.203??P??0.05??. Conclusion??The results suggest that the modified pediatric malnutrition risk screening tool can effectively screen out the risk of malnutrition in hospitalized children?? with better clinical predictability.
