The presence and impact of malnutrition in adult hospitalized patients has been well documented by a significant body of literature. However, current malnutrition care practices often vary widely and frequently lack standardization. The Global Malnutrition Composite Score (GMCS), the first nutrition-related electronic clinical quality measure, is intended to evaluate the quality of malnutrition care provided to inpatient adults. This measure aims to aid in standardizing malnutrition care through performance measurement. The four components of the measure (nutrition screening, nutrition assessment, malnutrition diagnosis, and nutrition care plans) follow the well-established Nutrition Care Process and encourage the use of standardized terminology. Facilities with high-performance scores on the GMCS are likely to experience improved outcomes associated with high-quality malnutrition care.

Conflict-affected regions face severe reproductive health challenges that disproportionately impact adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) and children, who are especially vulnerable due to the breakdown of healthcare systems and limited access to essential services. AGYW are at heightened risk due to restricted access to family planning, prenatal care, and emergency obstetric services, while children face malnutrition, disease outbreaks, and developmental delays. These challenges have profound long-term consequences for both their physical and psychological well-being.
