What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the prevalence of nutritional risk and malnutrition among hospitalized patients in large and medium-sized hospitals across China, Europe, and the USA. Utilizing the Nutrition Risk Screening (NRS) tool, the study will evaluate the current status of nutritional support and its impact on clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness. The research is backed by ethical approvals from prominent institutions, including Peking Union Medical College and Johns Hopkins Hospital, and seeks to provide valuable insights into the nutritional needs of hospitalized patients.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are hospitalized patients who are admitted overnight and meet the specific diagnostic criteria outlined in the study protocol.
Not a fit: Patients admitted from the emergency department or those who have undergone surgery prior to the second morning of hospitalization may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved nutritional support strategies for hospitalized patients, enhancing their clinical outcomes and overall health.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of nutritional support in patients at nutritional risk, indicating that this approach is supported by existing evidence.
