[Impact of early nutritional support and presence of diabetes mellitus in patients with acute stroke].

Introduction: the data in the medical literature are conflicting regarding the nutritional support of patients with stroke and the most appropriate time to start it. Objective: to analyze the effect of a nutritional intervention and of nutritional parameters on the clinical evolution of patients with stroke. Material and methods: this was an observational, retrospective study in 43 patients.

Comparison of Clinical Outcomes in Surgical Patients Subjected to CIPA Nutrition Screening and Treatment versus Standard Care.

Malnutrition is prevalent in surgical patients and leads to comorbidities and a poorer postoperative course. There are no studies that compare the clinical outcomes of implementing a nutrition screening tool in surgical patients with standard clinical practice. An open, non-randomized, controlled study was conducted in general and digestive surgical hospitalized patients, who were either assigned to standard clinical care or to nutrition screening using the Control of Food Intake, Protein, and Anthropometry (CIPA) tool and an associated treatment protocol ( = 210 and 202, respectively).

Cost-effectiveness of the hospital nutrition screening tool CIPA.

Introduction: Hospital malnutrition is very common and worsens the clinical course of patients while increasing costs. Lacking clinical-economic studies on the implementation of nutrition screening encouraged the evaluation of the CIPA (Control of Food Intake, Protein, Anthropometry) tool.

Material And Methods: An open, non-randomized, controlled clinical trial was conducted on patients admitted to internal medicine and general and digestive surgery wards, who were either assigned to a control (standard hospital clinical care) or to an intervention, CIPA-performing ward (412 and 411, respectively; = 823).

Efficacy in type 2 diabetes mellitus remission in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Objectives: To assess remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after bariatric surgery, to analyze potential conditioning factors, and to compare Spanish and American remission criteria.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study of diabetic patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass from 2009 to 2015. Data collected included age, sex, time since T2DM diagnosis, antidiabetic drugs, insulin (type and dose), weight and BMI, percent excess weight lost, HbA, blood glucose levels, and course of T2DM after surgery according to Spanish and American criteria, including a descriptive analysis and correlation between both.

Validity of the new nutrition screening tool Control of Food Intake, Protein, and Anthropometry (CIPA) in non-surgical inpatients.

Introduction: There is no gold-standard method for hospital nutrition screening. The new screening tool termed Control of Food Intake, Protein, and Anthropometry (CIPA) gives positive results when at least one of the following parameters is met: control of food intake for 72 h < 50%, serum albumin < 3 g/dl, body mass index < 18.5 kg/m or mid-upper arm circumference ≤ 22.

[Optimisation of nutritional screening tool CIPA: are two parameters of protein really necessary?].

Introduction: the preliminary nutritional screening tool CIPA (food intake, proteins, anthropometry) is positive when it fulfills one of the following: control food intake (CI) 48-72 h < 50%, albumin < 3 g/dl, total protein < 5 g/dl, body mass index (BMI) < 18,5 kg/m2 or mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) ≤ 22,5 cm. The use of two protein parameters increases costs and difficulty; one of them can be suppressed without affecting validity.

Objectives: to evaluate the effectiveness of screening CIPA after exclusion of total protein.

Clinical and cost-effectiveness analysis of early detection of patients at nutrition risk during their hospital stay through the new screening method CIPA: a study protocol.

Background: Malnutrition is highly prevalent in hospitalized patients and results in a worsened clinical course as well as an increased length of stay, mortality, and costs. Therefore, simple nutrition screening systems, such as CIPA (control of food intake, protein, anthropometry), may be implemented to facilitate the patient's recovery process. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of implementing such screening tool in a tertiary hospital, consistent with the lack of similar, published studies on any hospital nutrition screening system.

Introducción: la alimentación constituye el pilar fundamental del soporte nutricional de los pacientes hospitalizados. Evaluar el grado de aceptación de la dieta es imprescindible en aras de combatir la desnutrición hospitalaria.Objetivos: a) determinar el grado de satisfacción de los pacientes en relación con las dietas; y b) analizar posibles variables asociadas a un grado de satisfacción mayor (apetito y tipo de dieta).

Relationship between Mid-Upper Arm Circumference and Body Mass Index in Inpatients.

Introduction: Nutritional screening is a fundamental aspect of the initial evaluation of the hospitalised patient. Body Mass Index (BMI) in association with other parameters is a good marker of malnutrition (<18.5 kg/m2), but it presents the handicap that the great majority of patients cannot be weighed and measured.

[CONCORDANCE IN THE RESULTS OF CONTROL INTAKE PERFORMANCE OF 72 H BY DIFFERENT HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN A TERTIARY HOSPITAL].

Introduction: the nutritional screening CIPA is positive when it fulfills one of the following parameters: Control food Intake (CI) 72 h < 50%; albumin < 3 g/dl; Body Mass Index (BMI) < 18,5 kg/m2 or Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) ≤ 22,5 cm (if BMI cannot be determined). The only parameter no totally objective is the CI so that this study seeks to reinforce its validity.

Objectives: analyze the existing concordance among different health professionals when assessing a CI of 72 h.

[Introducing a mixed nutritional screening tool (CIPA) in a tertiary hospital].

Introduction: Malnourishment in hospitalized patients is very prevalent and therefore it is important to implement screening methods. A mixed nutritional screening method (CIPA) has been developed at our center; this method includes four parameters: (a) control of intakes for 72 h; (b) BMI; (c) proteins; and (d) albumin.

Objectives: (1) To know the prevalence of malnourishment at the Internal Medicine Department of our Center; (2) To analyze the variables associated to higher prevalence of malnourishment.

[Validation of a method of dispensing nutritional supplements in a tertiary hospital].

Introduction: Nutritional supplements are an essential component of the management of hospital hyponutrition, although their costs are high. There exists the need for methods allowing a rational prescription of them.

Objectives: To analyze the validity of the criteria for dispensing the nutritional supplements (NS) used at our center (by using as a reference the CONUT system).
