“…Detecting nutritional risk by performing nutritional screening allows the nutrition support team to take early initiative, even in patients with apparently adequate total body weight, whereas SGA is primarily effective in recognizing current malnutrition [ 7 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. Many studies have demonstrated a deficiency in screening nutrition within 24 h of admission, assessment, and even nutritional reassessment [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 13 ]. In studies involving clinical and surgical patients, the nutritional assessment corresponded to 30.7% and 75%, respectively [ 11 , 12 ], which agrees with the current study, the nutritional assessment being achieved in 55.5% of cases.…”
