Abstract: Patients with severe undernutrition had lower current weight, BMI, MAC, and CC compared with well-nourished patients. Undernutrition did not increase the risk of death; however, it did increase the relative risk for a longer hospital stay by 2.5.

“…In relation to mortality and LOS, our results found a positive association with malnutrition, similar to other studies 11,14 . A recent study conducted in a New York hospital, which included >5000 patients in the ICU, has found that malnourished patients had longer LOSs (21.2 days) and high in‐hospital mortality rate 17 .…”

“…In our study, we observed that malnourished patients had longer hospital LOSs than well‐nourished patients. Gattermann Pereira et al, using SGA, also have observed longer LOSs (over 31 days) for malnourished patients 14 . Interestingly, in their results, malnutrition did not increase the death risk.…”

“…The Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) is used in clinical practice to identify nutrition risk on admission to ICU 64,65 . Although there are limitations to this technique, the SGA classification correlates with handgrip strength, muscle thickness measurements, hospital length of stay, and ventilated days in the critical care setting 31,66 .…”
