          Abstract

          Introducción: la cuantificación y registro de la ingesta alimentaria del paciente hospitalizado es clave dentro del plan de cuidado nutricional. Objetivo: evaluar la validez de un cuestionario semicuantitativo de valoración del consumo comparado con una técnica de registro de alimentos por observación y pesada de los platos incluidos en la dieta hospitalaria. Métodos: estudio transversal realizado en condiciones de práctica clínica habitual. Las técnicas de valoración del consumo que se compararon fueron un registro por doble pesada y un cuestionario semicuantitativo por observación de la ingesta de cinco categorías (todo [> 80%], casi todo [80-60%], la mitad [60-40%], casi nada [40-20%] o nada [< 20%]), ambas realizadas por un dietista-nutricionista. La comparación entre ambas herramientas fue realizada con el índice kappa con ponderación cuadrática e intervalo de confianza del 95%. Resultados: fueron realizadas un total de 1.980 valoraciones. Se observó con el cuestionario semicuantitativo que en el 50% de los casos se ingirió todo, en el 19% casi todo, en el 13% la mitad, en el 9% menos de la mitad y en el 9% nada. La mediana de la ingesta por doble pesada de alimentos fue de 76,8 (RIC 45,8)%. Se observó que existió un acuerdo satisfactorio entre la técnica de doble pesada y la valoración visual del consumo con un valor κ = 0,907 (IC 95% 0,894-0,925). Conclusión: la escala visual empleada en este estudio permite cuantificar la ingesta real del paciente de forma precisa y adecuada por personal cualificado.

          Introduction: The quantification and recording of food intake of inpatients is one of the keys of the nutritional care plan. Aim: To evaluate the validity of a semiquantitative questionnaire to assess the food intake of the meals included in the hospital diet. Methods: Cross-sectional study in routine clinical practice. It was compared two techniques to evaluate food intake: double weighted (before and after intake) and a semiquantitative observational questionnaire which had five categories [all (> 80%), almost all (80-60%), half (60-40%), almost nothing (40-20%) or nothing (< 20%)], both performed by a dietitian. The comparison between the two tools was conducted with quadratic weighted kappa and confidence interval of 95%. Results: A total of 1,980 evaluations were done. It was observed by the semiquantitative questionnaire that in 50% of cases everything was eaten, 19% almost all, in 13% the half, 9% less than a half, and 9% nothing. The median intake was 76.8 (IQR 45.8)%. It was observed that there was a satisfactory agreement between the technique of double weight and visual assessment of the intake with a κ value of 0.907 (95% CI 0.894 to 0.925). Conclusion: The semiquantitative questionnaire used in this study to quantify patients' food intake was accurate and appropriate to be performed by a qualified professional.

          Malnutrition in hospitalized patients receiving nutritionally complete menus: prevalence and outcomes

          Background: The prevalence of malnutrition in hospitals ranges from 20 to 50% and the hospital diet could be a potential risk factor. The aim of the study was to determine the overall and per services prevalence of hospital malnutrition, and assess its impact on clinical outcomes in patients receiving nutritionally complete menus. Methodology: Cross-sectional study in a university hospital. Nutritional status was assessed using Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), anthropometry, and biochemical parameters. For the assessment of outcomes during hospitalization, length of stay, rate of deaths, and readmissions were collected. Results: 201 patients were evaluated. The median age was 71.59 (IQR 21.43) years old, and 51.20% were women. According to the results obtained by SGA, 37.8% of individuals were well nourished (WN), 50.2% were at nutritional risk (NR), and 11.9% were malnourished (MN). The prevalence of malnourished (NR+MN) was higher in oncology-hematology and medical wards (80.0% and 70.5%) than in surgical ones (52.4%) (p = 0.047). The worse nutritional status was, the longer the length of stay [WN: 8.0 (IQR 8.0) days; NR: 12.0 (IQR 13.5) days; MN: 18.5 (IQR 18.5) days, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The prevalence of malnutrition in the evaluated hospital was very high, being particularly striking in medical services, and doubling length of stay.
