NRS 2002 in RCT

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 12:23:51 +0200

Johansen N et al. Effect of nutritional support on clinical outcome in patients at nutritional risk. Clin Nutr 2004;23:539-550. Pubmed Protein and energy intake of patients at nutritional risk (NRS 2002) was increased in the intervention group. Length of stay (LOS) was shorter in the intervention group among patients with complications.

NRS 2002 and NRS

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:30:52 +0200

Schwegler et al. Nutritional risk is a clinical predictor of postoperative mortality and morbidity in surgery for colorectal cancer. Br J Surg 2010;97:92-7. Pubmed Based on the NRS-2002, there was a significant difference in postoperative complication rate between patients at nutritional risk and those not at risk (62 versus 39.8 per cent; P = 0.004) but not if Reilly's NRS was used (58 versus 44.1 per cent; P = 0.086). Nutritional risk was identified as an independent predictor of postoperative complications (odds ratio 2.79; P = 0.002).

NRS 2002 + SGA

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:28:23 +0200

Raslan et al. Complementarity of Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) for predicting poor clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients. Clin Nutr (e-pub ahead of printing) 2010. Pubmed Patients who were both NRS+ and SGA C had higher rates of complicarions than patients who were NRS+ or SGA C only. The concurrent application of SGA in NRS+ patients might enhance the ability to predict poor clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients.

NRS 2002, MNA-SF and MUST

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:25:41 +0200

Raslan et al. Comparison of nutritional risk screening tools for predicting clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients. Nutrition 2010;26:721-6. Pubmed Performance in predicting complications, very long length of hospital stay (LOS), and death was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curves. NRS 2002 (complications: 0.6531; very long LOS: 0.6508; death: 0.7948) and MNA-SF (complications: 0.6495; very long LOS: 0.6197; death: 0.7583) had largest areas under the ROC curve compared to MUST (complications: 0.6036; very long LOS: 0.6109; death: 0.6363). For elderly patients, NRS 2002 was not significantly different than MNA-SF (P>0.05) for predicting outcomes.

NRS 2002 and SGA II

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:23:23 +0200

Ozkalkanli et al. Comparison of tools for nutrition assessment and screening for predicting the development of complications in orthopedic surgery. Nutr Clin Pract 2009;24:274-80. Pubmed In patients undergoing orthopedic surgery, NRS 2002 predicted development of complications better than the SGA.

NRS 2002 and SGA

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:21:10 +0200

Kyle et al. Comparison of tools for nutritional assessment and screening at hospital admission: a population study. Clin Nutr 2006;25:409-17. Pubmed As compared to SGA, the sensitivity was 62%, 61% and 43% and specificity was 93%, 76% and 89% with the NRS-2002, MUST and NRI, respectively. NRS-2002 had higher positive (85%) and negative predictive values (79%) than the MUST (65% and 76%) or NRI (76% and 66%, respectively).

NRS 2002 and surgery II

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:18:10 +0200

Guo et al. Screening of the nutritional risk of patients with gastric carcinoma before operation by NRS 2002 and its relationship with postoperative results. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2010;25:800-3. Pubmed Preoperative nutrition score NRS 2002 >= 3 predicted more postoperative complications and longer length of hospital stay.

NRS 2002 and markers of protein malnutrition in geriatric patients

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:15:33 +0200

Drescher et al. Comparison of two malnutrition risk screening methods (MNA and NRS 2002) and their association with markers of protein malnutrition in geriatric hospitalized patients. Eur J Clin Nutr 2010;64:887-93. Pubmed Serum prealbumin and retinol-binding protein concentrations were inversely associated with the severity of malnutrition as indicated by the NRS (P=0.06 and <0.01, respectively). The NRS seems to be superior compared with the MNA and serum proteins in identifying elderly patients at risk of malnutrition during acute intercurrent illness.

NRS 2002 and nutrition support

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:13:16 +0200

Korfali et al. Nutritional risk of hospitalized patients in Turkey. Clin Nutr 2009;28:533-7. Pubmed Thirty-four hospitals from 19 cities contributed data from 29,139 patients. Only 52% of patients with nutritional risk received nutritional support.

NRS 2002 and surgery I

Schiesser et al. Assessment of a novel screening score for nutritional risk in predicting complications in gastro-intestinal surgery. Clin Nutr 2008;27:565-70. Pubmed Nutritional risk screening using the NRS 2002 strongly predicts the incidence and severity of complications after surgery.
