Resumen
LEANDRO-MERHI, Vânia Aparecida et al. Factors associated with patient weight loss and prescribed diet during hospitalization. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2021, vol.38, n.4, pp.749-757. Epub 27-Sep-2021. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.03249.
Objective:
the aim of this study was to assess weight loss, diet prescribed, and nutritional status in hospitalized patients, as well as their associated factors.
Methods:
weight loss during hospitalization, nutritional status, disease type, and prescribed diet were investigated in a retrospective study in 621 hospitalized patients. The chi-squared, Fisher's, Mann-Whitney, and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for statistical analysis. To identify factors associated with weight loss a logistic regression analysis was performed. The significance level adopted for statistical tests was 5 %.
Results:
patients who experienced weight loss during hospitalization were associated with longer hospital stays (p < 0.0001; OR = 1.052; 95 % CI = 1.030 to 1.073), malnourishment according to the subjective global assessment (p = 0.0358; OR = 1.520; 95 % CI = 1,028 to 2,248), digestive disorders (p = 0.0081; OR = 3.177; 95 % CI = 1.351 to 7.469), and digestive neoplasms (p = 0.0407; OR = 2.410; 95 % CI = 1.038 to 5.597).
Conclusion:
weight loss during hospitalization was associated with neoplasms, digestive diseases, malnutrition, and length of stay.
