“…Pneumonia is common among older adults, underweight individuals, and individuals diagnosed with dysphagia and is associated with malnutrition. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Furthermore, nutrition issues in patients with pneumonia have been reported to influence prognosis. 7,10,12,13,16 Thus, severe malnutrition based on low BMI cutoff values may predict poor outcomes in patients with pneumonia.…”

Background This study aimed to investigate the predictive validity of the previously reported body mass index (BMI) cutoff values of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria for patients with pneumonia in Asians, using a nationwide registry database. Methods The study included 26,098 (2282 patients aged <70 years and 23,784 patients aged ≥70 years) patients with pneumonia aged ≥65 years who were enrolled in the Japan Medical Data Center database between April 2014 and December 2018. Malnutrition was diagnosed using the GLIM criteria, and the severity of malnutrition was diagnosed by using a BMI cutoff value of <17.0 and <17.8 for patients aged <70 and ≥70 years, respectively. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine whether the severity of malnutrition based on BMI was associated with poor clinical outcomes, such as 30‐day in‐hospital mortality, length of hospital stay (LOS), and 30‐day readmission. Results A total of 14.7% and 24.1% of patients aged <70 and ≥70 years, respectively, experienced severe malnutrition. Severe malnutrition was independently associated with 30‐day in‐hospital mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 1.19; 95% CI, 1.05–1.34), prolonged LOS (coefficient, 5.13; 95% CI, 4.31–5.94), and 30‐day readmission (HR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.89–2.75) in patients aged ≥70 years; however, only prolonged LOS was independently associated with patients aged <70 years (coefficient, 3.27; 95% CI, −0.24–6.78). Conclusion The BMI cutoff values might be valid for patients with pneumonia aged ≥70 years in Asians. Further investigation is required to validate the cutoff value for older adults aged <70 years.

(1) Background: Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is currently recognized as one of the geriatric syndromes due to its high frequency in older people and its associated complications, which have a direct impact on quality of life. The main objective is to determine the effectiveness of telehealth consultation for the re-evaluation of nutritional status and quality of life assessment in older people diagnosed with OD associated with active use of thickeners to prevent hospital admissions in a COVID-19 pandemic. (2) Methods: an observational, descriptive, and longitudinal study that included a sample of 33 subjects with age equal or superior to 65 years diagnosed with OD with conserved cognitive capacity. The nutritional status was evaluated through the Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) questionnaire and biochemical parameters and, the quality of life was determined through the Swallowing Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL) questionnaire. (3) Results: Thirty-three older patients with OD were recruited (54.5% women), with a mean age of 83.5 ± 7.6 years. The main cause of OD in the study population was neurodegenerative disease (51.5%), followed by cerebrovascular disease (33.3%), and other causes (15.2%). Sixty point six percent of patients were found to be at risk of malnutrition. The MNA score was significantly correlated to albumin (r: 0.600, p < 0.001) and total proteins (r: 0.435, p = 0.015), but not to total cholesterol (r: −0.116, p = 0.534) or lymphocytes (r: −0.056, p = 0.758). The mean total score of the SWAL-QOL was 75.1 ± 16.4 points. (4) Conclusions: the quality of life of the subjects related to the use of a thickener is good. Although the body mass index (BMI) and average biochemical, nutritional parameters of the subjects are within the range of normality, the MNA has detected a high percentage of subjects with the risk of malnutrition, which suggests the need for continuous re-evaluation in these patients, demonstrating the viability of the telematic route in this research.
