Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how reliable two nutritional screening tools (STRONGkids and STAMP) are in identifying malnutrition risk in children admitted to hospitals, through observations by both nutrition experts and nonexperts.
- Involving 223 pediatric patients, the results showed good agreement between expert and nonexpert staff, with both groups identifying similar proportions of high-risk patients using the tools.
- The findings suggest that STRONGkids and STAMP can effectively guide nutritional screening regardless of the observer's expertise, with higher risk scores correlating with longer hospital stays.
