Background & Aims: The Norwegian Directorate of Health has identified a need to harmonize and standardize the malnutrition screening practice in Norwegian hospitals and primary health care settings, in order to provide a seamless communication of malnutrition screening along the patient pathway. Our aim was to perform a systematic review of the validity and reliability of screening tools used to identify risk of malnutrition across health care settings, diagnoses or conditions and adult age groups, as a first step towards a national recommendation of one screening tool.
Methods: A systematic literature search for articles evaluating validity, agreement, and reliability of malnutrition screening tools, published up to August 2020, was conducted in: MEDLINE, Embase, APA PsycInfo, Cinahl, Cochrane Databases, Web of Science, Epistemonikos, SveMed+, and Norart.
Background & Aims: Malnutrition is underdiagnosed and undertreated in Norway. In a revision of a national guideline on malnutrition, the Norwegian Directorate of Health aimed for a harmonization and standardization of the malnutrition screening practice, including a recommendation of one malnutrition screening tool to be used among all adults in Norwegian health and care services.
Methods: A working group was appointed by the Norwegian Directorate of Health.
Aims: Untreated familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) increases the risk of premature atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study investigated the presence of CVD in FH patients at the time of death.
Methods And Results: The presence of CVD, lipid profile, medical treatment, and cause of death was characterized in all deceased Norwegian FH patients, of whom we had access to medical records (n = 79, from 1989 to 2010).
