GLIM criteria validation and reliability in critically ill patients with cancer: A prospective study.

Background: The present study aims to assess the interrater reliability of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, a framework to provide a consensus diagnosis of malnutrition. We also aimed to investigate its concurrent and predictive validity in the context of patients with cancer admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Methods: Individuals aged ≥19 years with cancer who were admitted to the ICU within 48 h of their initial hospital admission were included.

Exploring the use of the GLIM criteria to diagnose malnutrition in cancer inpatients.

Objectives: The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria establish a diagnosis of malnutrition based on the presence of at least one phenotypic and one etiologic criterion. This study aimed to assess the concurrent and predictive validity of the GLIM criteria in hospitalized cancer patients.

Methods: This is an observational retrospective study, including 885 cancer patients, ages >18 y, admitted to a medical oncology inpatient unit between 2019 and 2020.
