Comparison of CIPA Nutritional Screening with GLIM Criteria for Malnutrition, Prognostic Evolution, and Association with Phase Angle in Hospitalized Patients.

Background: Hospital malnutrition has high prevalence and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. The lack of standardized nutritional screening prompted the creation of the CIPA screening tool. Several studies have shown that the phase angle (PA) is associated with increased nutritional risk and worse clinical outcomes.

Influence of the Results of Control of Intakes, Proteins and Anthropometry Nutritional Screening, Sarcopenia and Body Composition on the Clinical Evolution of Hospitalized Patients.

(1) Background: Hospital malnutrition and sarcopenia are common in inpatients and are associated with worse prognosis. Our objective is to determine the association of the positivity of CIPA (Control of Intakes, Proteins and Anthropometry) nutrition screening tool and sarcopenia and evaluate its prognostic implications (length of stay, readmissions and mortality) as well as different components of body composition. (2) Methodology: Cross-sectional single-center study and prospective six months follow-up for prognostic variables.

Nutrition management in enhanced recovery after abdominal pancreatic surgery.

Multimodal rehabilitation programs are perioperative standardized strategies with the objective of improving patient recovery, and decreasing morbidity, hospital stay and health cost. The nutritional aspect is an essential component of multimodal rehabilitation programs and therefore nutritional screening is recommended prior to hospital admission, avoiding pre-surgical fasting, with oral carbohydrate overload and early initiation of oral intake after surgery. However, there are no standardized protocols of diet progression after pancreatic surgery.
