Abstract
There are many misconceptions surrounding the diagnosing and treatment of malnutrition and around feeding people with enteral nutrition (EN). Often the decisions made by clinicians are made from anecdote or guidelines that may be out of date or supported by low-quality evidence. In this article, we will discuss different aspects of diagnosing malnutrition and delve deeper into the science and evidence behind certain recommendations. Our goal is to better equip the reader with the most current data-supported recommendation, such as indications, contraindications, complications of EN, tube and ostomy complications, types and use of specialized enteral formulas, and home management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of bariatric surgeries performed worldwide is growing. Among the main short, medium or long-term complications after surgery are nutritional deficiencies. Many of these, such as those of Zn, Cu and vitamins A, B1, B3, B6 and B12, are manifested by dermatological lesions before potentially fatal systemic disorders occur. OBJECTIVE To identify the main dermatological manifestations associated with nutritional deficiencies after bariatric surgery, and the associated variables. DESIGN AND SETTING Integrative literature review carried out at a public university in Brazil. METHODS This was a case report and a review of health research portals and databases of national and international biomedical journals, without publication date limitation. The descriptors used for searches followed the ideal methodology for each database/search portal: "bariatric surgery", "skin", "skin disease", "skin manifestation", "deficiency disease" and "malnutrition". RESULTS A total of 59 articles were selected, among which 23 were review articles or articles that addressed specific dermatological manifestations. The other 36 articles described 41 cases, which were organized into a table with the clinical variables. CONCLUSIONS Although nutritional deficiencies are expected as complications after bariatric surgery, few articles relating them to their dermatological manifestations were found. It is important to recognize skin changes caused by nutritional deficiencies in patients treated via bariatric surgery, as these may occur before systemic complications appear and are easier to diagnose when the patient does not have any systemic symptoms yet. However, there is generally a delay between the appearance of skin lesions and making the diagnosis of nutritional deficiency.

Abstract
Malnutrition is common after allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (alloHSCT), and interventions directed to correct nutritional status are warranted to improve transplant outcomes. In this prospective study, an oral polymeric formulation enriched with TGF-β2 (TE-OPF) was explored to correct malnutrition according to Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA). TE-OPF was proposed to 51 consecutive patients who received transplants at our institution for hematological malignancies, and sufficient dose intake was established per protocol as at least 50% of the prescribed dose of TE-OPF: group A received adequate nutritional support; group B, inadequate. The study met the primary outcomes in terms of safety (no adverse events reported during TE-OPF intake except for its disgusting taste) and malnutrition (PG-SGA C 28 days after transplant): severely malnourished patients (PG-SGA C) accounted for 13% in group A and 88.9% in group B (p = 0.000). At the end of the study, after a median follow-up of 416 days, the estimated median Overall Survival (OS) was 734 days for well or moderately nourished patients (PG-SGA A/B) in comparison to 424 for malnourished patients (p = 0.03). Inadequate TE-OPF intake was associated with an increase in acute gastrointestinal Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) cumulative incidence (38% vs. 0% p = 0.006). A higher incidence of pneumonia was reported in group B (p = 0.006). IGF-1 levels at 14 and 28 days after transplant were significantly higher in group A and were associated with a lower incidence of acute GVHD (aGVHD). Higher subsets of B, T, and NK cells were found in group A, and a higher number of CD16+ NK cells was associated with a lower incidence of acute GVHD (p = 0.005) and increased survival at the end of the study (p = 0.023). Artificial neural network analysis suggested that inadequate TE-OPF intake, pneumonia, and sepsis significantly affected malnutrition 28 days after alloHSCT and survival 365 days after alloHSCT (normalized importance 100%, 82%, and 68%, respectively). In this exploratory and preliminary study, the use of TE-OPF appeared to reduce the incidence of malnutrition after alloHSCT, but larger and controlled studies are required.

Abstract
Delivering care that meets patients' preferences, needs and values, and that is safe and effective is key to good-quality healthcare. Disease-related malnutrition (DRM) has profound effects on patients and families, but often what matters to patients is not captured in the research, where the focus is often on measuring the adverse clinical and economic consequences of DRM. Differences in the terminology used to describe care that meets patients' preferences, needs and values confounds the problem. Individualised nutritional care (INC) is nutritional care that is tailored to a patient's specific needs, preferences, values and goals. Four key pillars underpin INC: what matters to patients, shared decision making, evidence informed multi-modal nutritional care and effective monitoring of outcomes. Although INC is incorporated in nutrition guidelines and studies of oral nutritional intervention for DRM in adults, the descriptions and the degree to which it is included varies. Studies in specific patient groups show that INC improves health outcomes. The nutrition care process (NCP) offers a practical model to help healthcare professionals individualise nutritional care. The model can be used by all healthcare disciplines across all healthcare settings. Interdisciplinary team approaches provide nutritional care that delivers on what matters to patients, without increased resources and can be adapted to include INC. This review is of relevance to all involved in the design, delivery and evaluation of nutritional care for all patients, regardless of whether they need first-line nutritional care or complex, highly specialised nutritional care.

Abstract
The incidence and impact of malnutrition on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, clinical relevance, and prognostic outcomes of malnutrition in patients with ACS treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. This retrospective study included 1930 consecutive patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and assessed their nutritional status using 3 scoring systems: Controlling Nutritional Status score, nutritional risk index (NRI), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. The Controlling Nutritional Status, NRI, and PNI scores showed that 5.2%, 17.5%, and 3.9% of patients were moderately or severely malnourished, respectively. During a median follow-up of 67.2 months (interquartile range: 46.8-88.5 months), 74 (3.8%) patients died. Malnutrition was associated with a significantly increased risk for all-cause mortality compared with good nutrition (adjusted hazard ratios for moderate and severe malnutrition, respectively: 5.65 [95% confidence interval: 3.27-9.78] and 15.26 [7.50-31.05] for the NRI score, 5.53 [2.10-14.49] and 11.08 [5.69-21.59] for the PNI; P < .001). The current findings demonstrated that malnutrition is prevalent among patients with ACS and is closely associated with increased mortality. Further study is needed to evaluate the effects of nutritional interventions on the outcomes of patients with ACS.

Abstract
Background: Muscle ultrasonography of the quadriceps rectus femoris (QRF) is a technique on the rise in the assessment of muscle mass in application of nutritional assessment. The aim of the present study is to assess the usefulness of muscle ultrasonography in patients with cystic fibrosis, comparing the results with other body composition techniques such as anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and handgrip strength (HGS). At the same time, we intend to assess the possible association with the nutritional and respiratory status. Methods: This was a prospective observational study in adult patients with cystic fibrosis in a clinically stable situation. Muscle ultrasonography of the QRF was performed, and the results were compared with other measures of body composition: anthropometry, BIA, and DXA. HGS was used to assess muscle function. Respiratory parameters were collected, and nutritional status was assessed using Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. Results: A total of 48 patients were included, with a mean age of 34.1 ± 8.8 years. In total, 24 patients were men, and 24 patients were women. Mean BMI was 22.5 ± 3.8 kg/m2. Mean muscular area rectus anterior (MARA) was 4.09 ± 1.5 cm2, and mean muscular circumference rectus was 8.86 ± 1.61 cm. A positive correlation was observed between the MARA and fat-free mass index (FFMI) determined by anthropometry (r = 0.747; p < 0.001), BIA (r = 0.780; p < 0.001), and DXA (r = 0.678; p < 0.001), as well as muscle function (HGS: r = 0.790; p < 0.001) and respiratory parameters (FEV1; r = 0.445, p = 0.005; FVC: r = 0.376, p = 0.02; FEV1/FVC: r = 0.344, p = 0.037). A total of 25 patients (52.1%) were diagnosed with malnutrition according to GLIM criteria. Differences were observed when comparing the MARA based on the diagnosis of malnutrition (4.75 ± 1.65 cm2 in normo-nourished vs. 3.37 ± 1.04 in malnourished; p = 0.014). Conclusions: In adults with cystic fibrosis, the measurements collected by muscle ultrasound of the QRF correlate adequately with body composition techniques such as anthropometry, BIA, DXA, and handgrip strength. Muscle ultrasound measurements, particularly the MARA, are related to the nutritional status and respiratory function of these patients.

Abstract
Background: This study aims to assess the prevalence of preoperative and postoperative nutritional deficiencies and associated factors in patients who are eligible for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Methods: Patients who underwent primary laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy between December 2018 and April 2020 were included in the study. All patients were screened by detailed laboratory tests pre- and post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy 6th and 12th months. Patients’ data, which were recorded prospectively, were analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 228 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 39 ± 11.5 (60% female), and the mean body mass index was 41.2 ± 6.3 kg/m2. In the preoperative period, anemia was detected in 20 female patients (9%), low ferritin levels were detected in 25%, B12 and folic acid deficiencies were detected in 2.6% and 12.3%, respectively, and vitamin D deficiency was detected in 76% of the patients. During the postoperative follow-up, 77% of the patients received multivitamin supplements regularly. Mean body mass index regressed to 27.1 ± 4.2 kg/m2 in the first year. Incidence of anemia was found at 4.8%, low ferritin levels were 14%, folate deficiency was 5.3%, B12 deficiency was 5.3%, and vitamin D deficiency was 25% in the 12th month. Vitamin A, zinc, biotin, and thiamine deficiencies were 8.8%, 6.6%, 11%, and 2.2% in the 12th month, respectively. Conclusion: In the preoperative period, we detected significant deficiencies in some vitamins. The incidence of de novo vitamin deficiency during post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy follow-up was low. Regular multivitamin–multimineral use may have an effect on this.

Abstract
The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) provides consensus criteria for the diagnosis of malnutrition that can be widely applied. The GLIM approach is based on the assessment of three phenotypic (weight loss, low body mass index, and low skeletal muscle mass) and two etiologic (low food intake and presence of disease with systemic inflammation) criteria, with diagnosis confirmed by any combination of one phenotypic and one etiologic criterion fulfilled. Assessment of muscle mass is less commonly performed than other phenotypic malnutrition criteria, and its interpretation may be less straightforward, particularly in settings that lack access to skilled clinical nutrition practitioners and/or to body composition methodologies. In order to promote the widespread assessment of skeletal muscle mass as an integral part of the GLIM diagnosis of malnutrition, the GLIM consortium appointed a working group to provide consensus-based guidance on assessment of skeletal muscle mass. When such methods and skills are available, quantitative assessment of muscle mass should be measured or estimated using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, computerized tomography, or bioelectrical impedance analysis. For settings where these resources are not available, then the use of anthropometric measures and physical examination are also endorsed. Validated ethnic- and sex-specific cutoff values for each measurement and tool are recommended when available. Measurement of skeletal muscle function is not advised as surrogate measurement of muscle mass. However, once malnutrition is diagnosed, skeletal muscle function should be investigated as a relevant component of sarcopenia and for complete nutrition assessment of persons with malnutrition.

Abstract
Malnutrition is a common complication in cancer patients. It often accelerates disease progression and affects treatment outcomes. Thus, in the early census of cancer patients, examination for possible nutritional risks and correcting potential causes of malnutrition are needed to improve patients' quality of life. Our study included 375 patients diagnosed with cancer in Henan province and analyzed the relationship between nutritional risk and indicators like age, serum albumin, serum prealbumin, serum hemoglobin, tumor stage, tumor type, and inflammatory factors. We found that age, hemoglobin, and presence of gastrointestinal tumors were independent risk factors for nutritional risk. We also found significant correlation between inflammatory factors and nutritional risk in cancer patients, so as to provide new prediction indexes for clinical management of nutritional risk and dynamic changes of nutritional status.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Malnutrition is commonly associated with elderly patients with femoral fractures. Approximately 50% of hospitalized patients with a femoral fracture are malnourished or at risk of malnourishment. This situation may have a negative impact on outcomes and results for these patients. Malnourishment has been associated with an increased risk of complications, mortality, poor recovery, and delayed length of stay. METHOD A retrospective observational study was conducted at our institution to evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition or risk of malnourishment in 766 hospitalized patients from January 2016 to December 2019. Furthermore, we identified factors that are associated with malnutrition. We also compared length of stay and mortality according to the degree of malnutrition. RESULTS The mean age for patients included was 84.6 years and 75% of patients were female. The Mini Nutritional Assessment test results showed 7.9% of patients were malnourished and 31.5% at risk of malnourishment. CONCLUSIONS Our study results indicate a high prevalence of malnutrition and risk of malnourishment in hospitalized elderly patients with a femoral fracture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The swallowing and nutritional status of head-and-neck cancer patients after oncological therapy have been extensively researched. However, the same topics are seldom scrutinized before the onset of oncological therapy, although they can influence treatment success in the long term. OBJECTIVE This study focusses on a systematic assessment of swallowing function and nutritional status in head-and-neck cancer patients prior to oncological therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 102 patients, penetration/aspiration (PA scale), limitations of oral intake (Functional Oral Intake Scale, FOIS), and the need for further intervention (NFI) were endoscopically assessed to objectively quantify swallowing function. The subjective evaluation of swallowing function was carried out with the gEAT-10 (German EAT-10) questionnaire, nutritional status was assessed by body mass index (BMI). Possible impact factors for swallowing function and BMI were analyzed by univariate and multivariate methods. RESULTS PAS, FOIS, and NFI values were abnormal in ≤ 15% of patients. BMI was more often too high than too low. Objectively assessed swallowing functions depended predominantly on tumor stage and showed moderate correlations with gEAT-10. The latter mostly yielded a "fail" result. The nutritional status depended on the patients' biological sex and NFI. CONCLUSION In the pre-treatment setting, neither dysphagia nor malnutrition were found in most patients. Impaired swallowing was associated with higher tumor stages, malnutrition with female sex and NFI. A systematic pre-treatment assessment of swallowing and nutritional status in head-and-neck cancer patients appears necessary for modern oncological therapy and optimal patient outcome.

Abstract
Malnutrition is recognized to be a serious and common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in children. Early identification and swift intervention is the key in the management of malnutrition in CKD. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of malnutrition in children with CKD, to see the prevalence of malnutrition according to different anthropometric indices, to see the prevalence of malnutrition in different stages of CKD, to compare the nutritional status of children with CKD according to chronological age and height age. This analytical cross sectional study was done in the Department of Pediatric Nephrology of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from March 2014 to May 2015. Thirty children were enrolled in the study by purposive sampling. Nutritional assessment was done from dietary assessment by 72 hours recall and anthropometric measurements. Anthropometric indices were expressed in Z-scores and percentiles according to both chronological age and height age. Numeric data was analyzed by ANOVA and categorical data was tested by chi-square test. Difference between proportions was tested by Z-test of proportion. P value (<0.05) was considered significant. Data shows that the mean age of the studied population was 10.99±3.5 years with a male predominance. Eighteen (60.0%) children were on hemodialysis and rests on conservative management. Average calorie intake was 74.31±9.34% of estimated energy requirement (EER). The prevalence of malnutrition was 70.0% (95% CI: 53.6-86.4) according to height Z-score (HAZ), 66.7% (95% CI: 45.8-80.2) for weight Z-score (WAZ) and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) Z-score, according to BMI percentile it was 56.7% (95% CI: 39-74.4), for mid arm muscle circumference (MAMC) the prevalence was 53.3% (95% CI: 35.5-71.1), according to arm muscle area (AMA) and arm fat area (AFA) the prevalence was 50.0% (95% CI: 38.1-67.9) and for triceps skin fold thickness (TST) it was 43.3% (95% CI: 25.5-61). Height was the most affected parameter and triceps skin fold thickness was the least affected parameter. When anthropometric indices were adjusted for height age, the prevalence was 36.7% according to BMI and TST, 30.0% according to AFA, 13.3% according to MUAC, 10.0% each for MAMC and AMA and 3.3% for WAZ. The difference in the prevalence of malnutrition according to this two approach was statistically significant in all parameters accept BMI, TST and AFA. Malnutrition was more associated with advanced stage of CKD. Low calorie intake was associated with low BMI and low serum albumin level. Serum albumin level was low in the present study population. In conclusion, prevalence of malnutrition is very high in children with CKD.

Abstract
Nutritional assessment is a basic and necessary process in the nutritional management of dialysis patients. Malnutrition is a prevalent complication in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). The study aimed to evaluate its relationship with the duration of dialysis, demographic and socioeconomic profile of HD patients, and to assess malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) in HD patients. In this descriptive-analytical study, 153 HD patients were selected with random sampling. All the patients were interviewed and the MIS of the patients was recorded. Evaluate the relationship of malnutrition with the duration of dialysis, demographic and socioeconomic profile of HD patients, and to assess MIS in HD patients. Patients were followed up for 3 months. Data were analyzed with Chi-square and t-tests and Pearson correlation coefficient. A total of 153 patients were studied, 53 (34.64%) patients had good nutritional status and 100 (65.35%) patients had malnutrition. The mean of patients MIS score was 10.71 ± 5.14. Malnutrition rates in males and females were not significantly different. There was a positive and significant relationship between age and MIS score (P = 0.035). There was also a significant correlation between the level of education and MIS score (P = 0.042). The mean dialysis duration was 25.52 ± 2 6.27 months. There was a significant difference in the duration of dialysis in mild to severely malnourished patients (P = 0.002). A significant correlation between MIS score and the serum calcium and serum iron results (r = 0.402). The rise in serum prealbumin level was significantly greater at 3 months. MIS score is the best tool to assess nutritional status in patients with ESRD undergoing HD, because it can recognize various degrees of malnutrition that may remain undetected by a single laboratory assessment. The correlation between MIS score and age and dialysis period was significant.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (ACKD) have a high prevalence of malnutrition. The dietary restrictions that we usually apply in terms of macro and micronutrients force our patients to follow dietary guidelines that deviate from healthy patterns. OBJETIVES To determine if a personalized nutritional intervention program, minimizing the usual restrictions would be justified in case it improved the evolution of kidney disease compared to standard treatment. SECUNDARY OBJETIVES To determine changes in nutrient intakes and in anthropometric and biochemical parameters, as well as quantify episodes of hyperkalemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS A single-center, randomized and controlled educational intervention clinical trial was conduct in patients from the ERCA outpatients clinic at the Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Albacete. 75 patients were included, assigning 35 to a Control group and 40 to the Intervention group with 1-year follow-up. The nutritional status was determined using anthropometric data, body composition by Bioimpedance, blood and urine biochemical parameters and a 24-h recall questionnaire. The nutritional intervention was carried out in three different ways: individual, collective and telephone recall. RESULTS At the beginning of the study, the BMI showed a situation of weight excess with a mean of 28.83 kg/m2 (5.4) in men and 26.96 kg/m2 (4.09) in women. 70% of our patients had overweight. The abdominal circumference was 105.3 cm (10.2) and 92.3 cm (13.7) for men and women respectively without significant changes throughout the study. The percentage of fat mass (FM) was high in both groups for men and women throughout the study. We did not find biochemical parameters of malnutrition and only significant differences were observed in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which increased in the intervention group. No patient presented any episodes of hyperkalemia during the study. The energy intake in both groups showed an inadequate distribution of macronutrients with a poor intake of carbohydrates (CH) that was supplemented with an excess of fat. In the case of micronutrients, we did observe an increase in potassium and fiber intakes with a decrease in sodium and phosphorus in the intervention group. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition is not exclusively an intake defficit and encompasses both the problems derived from a deficit and an excess of nutrients intake. Un to 70% of our patients showed weight excess and a fat mass higher than desirable. The implementation of an individualized nutritional education program, including a vegetables and fiber rich diet, less atherogenic, not only did not cause electrolyte alterations but also slowed the progression of kidney disease.

Abstract
Most hospitalized COVID-19 pneumonia patients are older adults and/or have nutrition-related issues. Many are bedridden in intensive care units (ICU), a well-documented cause of malnutrition, muscle wasting, and functional impairment. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of an intensive rehabilitation program over the nutritional/functional status of patients recovering from COVID-19 pneumonia. Post-COVID-19 pneumonia patients underwent a 30-day intensive interdisciplinary rehabilitation program including a personalized nutritional intervention designed to achieve a minimum intake of 30 kcal/kg/day and 1 g protein/kg/day. The nutritional and functional status was assessed in each patient at three different moments. Each assessment included Body Mass Index (BMI), Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), Mid Arm Muscle Circumference (MAMC), Tricipital Skinfold (TSF), Hand Grip Strength (HGS), and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA®). The study included 118 patients, with ages in the range 41−90 years old. BMI increased linearly over time (0.642 units, F-test = 26.458, p < 0.001). MUAC (0.322 units, F-test = 0.515, p = 0.474) and MAMC status (F-test = 1.089, p = 0.299) improved slightly, whereas TSF decreased (F-test = 1.885, p = 0.172), but all these arm anthropometry trends did not show significant variations, while HGS (4.131 units, F-test = 82.540, p < 0.001) and MNA® (1.483 units, F-test = 217.726, p < 0.001) reported a meaningful improvement. Post-COVID-19 pneumonia patients presented malnutrition and functional impairment. An interdisciplinary rehabilitation program, including personalized nutritional intervention, was effective for post-hospital COVID-19 pneumonia nutritional/functional rehabilitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is prevalent among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Nutritional profiles among Asian patients with IBD have seldom been investigated. We assessed the prevalence of and risk factors for malnutrition, use of nutrition support, and sociopsychological status associated with malnutrition among patients with IBD in China. METHODS Patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (CD) recruited from 43 tertiary referral hospitals were screened for malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies in this cross-sectional study. The use of nutrition support was recorded. The sociopsychological status was assessed by subjective questionnaires. Factors associated with malnutrition were analyzed, and multivariate regression was used to determine independent predictors for malnutrition. RESULTS We recruited 1013 patients with a median age of 35.0 years, 58.5% of them had CD, and 61.4% of all patients were male. Overall, 49.5% (n = 501) of patients were diagnosed with malnutrition, including 57.0% of patients with CD, 38.8% of patients with ulcerative colitis, and 44.1% of patients with quiescent or mildly active disease. Nutrient deficiencies were prevalent despite the absence of malnutrition. Malnutrition was associated with adverse sociopsychological status, including decreased social support, higher perceived stress, and impaired quality of life. Moderate to severe disease activity and extensive disease were 2 independent risk factors for malnutrition. In total, 41.6% of patients received nutrition support, and patients with risk factors were more likely to receive nutrition support. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition was highly prevalent and associated with adverse consequences in Chinese patients with IBD. Malnutrition screening and early initiation of nutrition support are essential components in IBD care.

Abstract
Cross-sectional studies report that up to 25% of people with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP NET) are malnourished. However, the changes in nutritional status and dietary intake over time are unknown. The present study aimed to comprehensively describe the impact of a GEP NET on nutritional status and quality of life (QOL). Patients diagnosed with a GEP NET were recruited to this prospective longitudinal study on initial attendance to the NET Unit at two tertiary hospitals in Melbourne (VIC, Australia). Patient self-reported QOL measures (European Organisation for Research and Treatment Cancer QLC-C30 and QLC-GINET21) and nutritional outcomes (nutritional status, weight change, fat-free mass [FFM], dietary change, dietitian contact) were collected bi-monthly for six months. Sixty-one patients were recruited (66% male) with a mean ± SD age of 62 ± 12 years, predominantly diagnosed with small intestinal NET and Grade 1/2 disease. Commonly reported symptoms were fatigue (79%), abdominal discomfort (75%) and pain (68%). More patients were malnourished at baseline than at 6 months (29% vs. 13%). Over this 6 months, 48% lost weight, 20% lost ≥ 5% of their body weight, and 62% lost FFM with an average FFM loss of 2.8 kg (95% confidence interval = 2.0, 3.6), consistent with altered body composition. Dietary change was reported by 56% at baseline and 53% at six months, but only 21% consulted a dietitian at baseline and 18% at 6 months. Clinically significant loss of weight and FFM affected many patients with a GEP NET; however, few patients were referred to/or received a consultation with a dietitian. Valid screening practices are needed to identify weight loss and nutrition issues in GEP NET patients, and to facilitate referral to dietitian services.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Crohn’s disease (CD) is usually accompanied by malnutrition. CD-related malnutrition can increase morbidity, disability, mortality, and hospitalization costs. The purpose of this study was to find a reliable indicator for evaluating CD patients’ nutritional status. Methods: All data were retrospectively collected from Xiangya Hospital, Central South University between May 2021 and February 2022. All patients were evaluated for nutritional status using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. Body composition, resistance, and reactance were recorded by a body analyser, and the phase angle (PhA) was calculated simultaneously. The Mann−Whitney U test, chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was built to evaluate the predictive value of differential variables for diagnosing malnutrition based on the GLIM criteria. Results: A total of 169 CD patients were enrolled, of which 74 (58.3%) males and 32 (76.2%) females were diagnosed with malnutrition; 34 (45.9%) males and 22 (68.8%) females were severely malnourished. Univariate analysis identified that as nutritional status deteriorated, body mass index, PhA, and levels of haemoglobin and albumin decreased, while platelet count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and levels of C-reactive protein and fibrinogen increased (p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the PhA was significantly independently associated with malnutrition (p < 0.05). The ROC curve analysis indicated that the optimal PhA cut-off levels of 6.11° and 5.55° could be used to predict malnutrition according to the GLIM criteria in males and females, respectively, with a PhA < 5.53° and < 5.12° indicating severe malnutrition in males and females, respectively. Conclusion: The PhA is a sensitive, noninvasive, portable, inexpensive tool that can be used to monitor and manage the nutritional status of CD patients.

Abstract
In chronic kidney disease, anemia and malnutrition coupled with inflammation as malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrom are common and considered as morbidity-mortality factors. The link between these two factors has been described at length in the literature highlighting an association of malnutrition with iron deficiency considered itself as one of the causes of anemia in chronic kidney disease (non-dialysis and hemodialysis). Our study aims to know the prevalence of these two factors in a population of chronic kidney disease (non-dialysis and hemodialysis) of Algiers and to highlight the possible associations between them. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a multicentre, cross-sectional and descriptive study carried out over a period of 6months (August 2018 to January 2019). Anemia and malnutrition were assessed by various biological and clinical tools such as the malnutrition inflammation score and the International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism criteria. Statistical tests were performed on the R studio software, considering P<0.05 as a statistically significant value. RESULTS Two hundred and nine patients on chronic kidney disease were included (90 non dialysis and 119 hemodialysis). The median age was 70 (IQR=16) for non dialysis and 56 (IQR=16.5) for hemodialysis. The prevalence of anemia was 66.66% (n=60) in non dialysis and 70.58% (n=84) in hemodialysis. Absolute iron deficiency anemia was higher in non dialysis (48.33%; n=29) while functional iron deficiency anemia was higher in hemodialysis (34.52%; n=29). The prevalence of malnutrition by malnutrition inflammation score was relatively low. Only functional iron deficiency anemia was associated with malnutrition. CONCLUSION The prevalence of anemia was higher in Algerian chronic kidney disease (non-dialysis and hemodialysis) unlike malnutrition which remains associated with functional iron deficiency anemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) malnutrition can lead to life-long nutritional treatments. The refeeding process can combine natural feeding (NF) with specific nutritional strategies, including oral nutritional supplements (ONS) and nasogastric feeding (NGF). Aims of the present study were to assess the efficacy of hospital protocol and identify the most effective inpatient nutritional strategies for weight restoration. METHODS All patients hospitalized from April 2015 to April 2020 were enrolled. According to hospital protocol, NF was proposed to all patients; ONS were combined with NF if caloric intake was <70% of the requirements and NGF was added if caloric intake did not reach 30% in the first week from admission. RESULTS Overall, 186 patients [M = 20; median age 14 (interquartile range 1316)] were included. Nutritional issues were the main indication to admission (56.6%). A significant effect of combination treatment, with a shorter duration of hospitalization when using ONS with NGF in addition to NF was found (ß: -20.28 [95% confidence interval -34.92:-5.65], P < 0.001). Only one patient showed a significant but limited increase of liver enzymes. CONCLUSIONS We provide a safe and effective standardized protocol to treat the malnutrition of teenagers with AN in an inpatient setting. Malnutrition was the most important cause of admission, and more than half of the patients admitted were severely malnourished. The combination of NF, ONS, and NGF was the most effective strategy to achieve the weight restoration; however, this result should be validated on larger series of patients treated with NGF and NF.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Disease-associated undernutrition (DAU) is still common in hospitalized children and is generally accepted to be associated with adverse effects on disease outcomes; hence making proper identification and assessment essential in the management of the sick child. There are however several barriers to routine screening, assessment, and treatment of sick children with poor nutritional status or DAU, including limited resources, lack of nutritional awareness, and lack of agreed nutrition policies. We recommend all pediatric facilities to 1) implement procedures for identification of children with (risk of) DAU, including nutritional screening, criteria for further assessment to establish diagnosis of DAU, and follow-up, 2) assess weight and height in all children asa minimum, and 3) have the opportunity for children at risk to be assessed by a hospital dietitian. An updated descriptive definition of pediatric DAU is proposed as "Undernutrition is a condition resulting from imbalanced nutrition or abnormal utilization of nutrients which causes clinically meaningful adverse effects on tissue function and/or body size/composition with subsequent impact on health outcomes." To facilitate comparison of undernutrition data, it is advised that in addition to commonly used criteria for undernutrition such as z score < -2 for weight-for-age, weight-for-length, or body mass index <-2, an unintentional decline of >1inthese z scores over time should be considered as an indicator requiring further assessment to establish DAU diagnosis. Since the etiology of DAU is multifactorial, clinical evaluation and anthropometry should ideally be complemented by measurements of body composition, assessment of nutritional intake, requirements, and losses, and considering disease specific factors.

Abstract
Malnutrition is common in chronic liver diseases and worsens the patient’s prognosis. Many liver disorders are associated with nutritional deficiencies. Some of the main factors that can lead to malnutrition in patients with chronic liver disease include decreased lipid absorption and reduced albumin production. In addition, these patients are sometimes candidates for a liver transplant that requires nutritional intervention after surgery to improve their prognosis. Thus, it is very important to recognise malnutrition in patients with liver failure in order to resolve it, mainly by a complete history of the patient, dietary survey, determination of muscle mass and a subjective assessment. To ensure a good nutritional status, exercise and lifestyle changes are considered, including dietary modifications, especially with a Mediterranean pattern. This article reviews these topics, including dietary modifications before and after liver transplantation. Additionally, nutritional recommendations are offered to patients with metabolic hepatic steatosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate whether poor oral health is associated with a higher risk of malnutrition based on the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) or MNA-SF (short form) in older adults. STUDY SELECTION For this meta-analysis, cohort and cross-sectional studies with adults 65 years and older, reporting oral health outcomes (i.e. edentulism, number of teeth) and either the MNA or MNA-SF were selected. Four electronic databases were searched (Medline via PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and EMBASE) through June 2020. Risk of bias was assessed with the checklist by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality scale. RESULTS A total of 928 abstracts were reviewed with 33 studies, comprising 27,559 participants, aged ≥65 being ultimately included. Meta-analyses showed that the lack of daily oral hygiene (teeth or denture cleaning), chewing problems and being partially/fully edentulous, put older adults at higher risk of malnutrition (p<0.05). After adjustment for socio-demographic variables, the included studies reported lack of autonomy for oral care, poor/moderate oral health, no access to the dentist and being edentulous with either no dentures or only one denture were risk factors significantly associated with a higher risk of malnutrition (p<0.05). CONCLUSION These findings may imply that once elders become dependent on others for assistance with oral care, have decreased access to oral healthcare, and lack efficient chewing capacity, there is increased risk of malnourishment. Limitations of the study include heterogeneity of oral health variables and the observational nature of the studies. Further studies are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
The extracellular mass/body cell mass ratio (ECM/BCM ratio) is a novel indicator of nutritional and hydration status in hemodialysis (HD) patients. This study aimed to explore the ECM/BCM ratio as a predictor of mortality risk with nutritional-inflammatory markers in HD patients. A prospective observational study was conducted in 90 HD patients (male: 52.2%; DM: 25.60%). Clinical and biochemical parameters [serum albumin, serum C-reactive protein (s-CRP), interleukine-6 (IL-6)] were analysed and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was performed. Protein-energy wasting syndrome (PEW) was diagnosed using malnutrition-inflammation score (MIS). Based on BIA-derived measurements, the ECM/BCM ratio with a cut-off point of 1.20 was used as a PEW-fluid overload indicator. Comorbidity by Charlson index and hospital admissions were measured. Out of 90 HD patients followed up for 36 months, 20 patients (22.22%) died. PEW was observed in 24 survivors (34.28%) and all non-survivors. The ECM/BCM ratio was directly correlated with MIS, s-CRP, Charlson index and hospital admissions but was negatively correlated with phase angle and s-albumin (all, p < 0.001). Values of the ECM/BCM ratio ≥ 1.20 were associated with higher probability of all-cause mortality (p = 0.002). The ECM/BCM ratio ≥ 1.20, IL-6 ≥ 3.1 pg/mL, s-CRP and s-albumin ≥ 3.8 g/dL and Charlson index were significantly associated with all-cause mortality risk in multivariate adjusted analysis. This study demonstrates that the ECM/BCM ratio ≥ 1.20 as a nutritional marker and/or fluid overload indicator had a significant prognostic value of death risk in HD patients.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major health problem that causes death and disability worldwide. Fibroblast growth factor - 23 (FGF 23), is a novel hormone, which is secreted primarily by the osteoblasts. CKD patients are at an increased risk of malnutrition, characterized by micronutrient deficiencies and protein-energy wasting. The mechanisms of malnutrition in CKD are complicated and involve multiple pathophysiologic alterations. Serum FGF 23 levels may be used as a marker of malnutrition in such patients. MATERIAL 50 CKD patients on maintenance hemodialysis were selected after fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria and their anthropometric measurements and Subjective Global Assessment-Dialysis Malnutrition Score (SGA-DMS) score calculated, Serum FGF 23 levels and various other baseline characteristics and demographic information were collected from August 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021 in this cross-sectional observational study, which was done in the medicine wards of a tertiary care hospital in Delhi. OBSERVATION The mean age of the study population was 42.44 ± 14.35 years. The mean Body Weight was 58.06 kg. The mean height was 1.72 m. The mean BMI was 19.73 kg/m2. The mean SGA-DMS Score was 30.12. The mean FGF 23 levels were 650.46 pg/mL. There was a strong negative correlation between SGA-DMS Score and FGF-23 (pg/ mL), and this correlation was statistically significant (rho = -0.72, p = <0.001). CONCLUSION FGF 23 levels showed negative correlation with nutrition status of the patient and it can be used as a marker for malnutrition in CKD patients on maintenance hemodialysis.

Abstract
Malnutrition is a poor prognostic factor in cancer disease. In case of head and neck cancer, there are multiple disease symptoms and side effects of treatment that increase the risk of malnutrition. The aim of the study is to assess the association between nutritional status at the time of qualification for home enteral nutrition (HEN) and overall survival of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), and assessment usefulness of selected nutritional indices as prognostic factors. The retrospective survival analysis involved 157 patients with HNC referred to HEN between January 2018 and October 2021. The nutritional status assessment was performed at the qualification for HEN visit. We have analyzed results of body mass index (BMI), Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) for patients <65 years, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) for patients ≥65 years and malnutrition defined by Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM). The mean patient survival was 44.7 weeks and the median was 23.9 weeks. Patients with low NRI and GNRI score had a higher risk of death (NRI: p = 0.0229; GNRI: p = 0.371). NRI, GNRI, and malnutrition defined by GLIM were superior to BMI as prognostic markers for survival. Results suggest that the use of NRI, GNRI, and GLIM criteria could provide useful prognostic information. The longer survival since the qualifying visit for home enteral nutrition suggests that nutritional management could be initiated earlier.

Abstract
Background: Malnutrition is substantially higher among children with cerebral palsy (CP) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) when compared with the general population. Access to appropriate interventions is crucial for better management of malnutrition and nutritional outcomes of those children. We aimed to review the existing evidence on nutrition interventions for children with CP in LMICs. Methods: Online databases, i.e., PubMed and Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched up to 10 January 2022, to identify peer-reviewed publications/evidence on LMIC focused nutritional management guidelines/interventions. Following title screening and abstract review, full articles that met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were retained for data charting. Information about the study characteristics, nutrition interventions, and their effectiveness were extracted. Descriptive data were reported. Results: Eight articles published between 2008 and 2019 were included with data from a total of n = 252 children with CP (age range: 1 y 0 m–18 y 7 m, 42% female). Five studies followed experimental design; n = 6 were conducted in hospital/clinic/center-based settings. Four studies focused on parental/caregiver training; n = 2 studies had surgical interventions (i.e., gastrostomy) and n = 1 provided neurodevelopmental therapy feeding intervention. Dietary modification as an intervention (or component) was reported in n = 5 studies and had better effect on the nutritional outcomes of children with CP compared to interventions focused on feeding skills or other behavioral modifications. Surgical interventions improved nutritional outcomes in both studies; however, none documented any adverse consequences of the surgical interventions. Conclusion: There is a substantial knowledge gap on nutrition interventions for children with CP in LMICs. This hinders the development of best practice guidelines for the nutritional management of children with CP in those settings. Findings suggest interventions directly related to growth/feeding of children had a better outcome than behavioral interventions. This should be considered in planning of nutrition-focused intervention or comprehensive services for children with CP in LMICs.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Nutrition plays a vital role in promoting skin integrity and supporting tissue repair in the presence of chronic wounds such as pressure injuries (PIs). Individuals who are malnourished are at greater risk of polymorbid conditions, adverse clinical outcomes, longer hospital lengths of stay, PI development, and mortality, and incur increased healthcare costs compared with patients who are adequately nourished. In addition, some patient populations tend to be more vulnerable to PI formation, such as neonates, patients with obesity, older adults, and individuals who are critically ill. Accordingly, this article aims to review the latest nutrition care recommendations for the prevention and treatment of PIs, including those recommendations tailored to special populations. A secondary objective is to translate nutrition recommendations into actionable steps for the healthcare professional to implement as part of a patient plan of care.Implementing an evidence-based plan of care built around individualized nutrition interventions is an essential step supporting skin integrity for these populations. The 2019 Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries: Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) affirms that meeting nutrient requirements is essential for growth, development, maintenance, and repair of body tissues. Many macronutrients and micronutrients work synergistically to heal PIs. Registered dietitian nutritionists play an important role in helping patients identify the most nutrient dense foods, protein supplements, and oral nutrition supplements to meet their unique requirements.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Advanced ovarian cancer is a severe disease with major side effects caused by peritoneal carcinomatosis, ascites and gastrointestinal involvement as well as exhaustive treatment like debulking surgery and combination chemotherapy. Two most frequently reported side effects are muscle wasting and malnutrition, leading to frailty, decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and cancer-related fatigue (CRF). As muscle wasting and malnutrition often commence during first-line chemotherapy and develop progressively into a refractory state, an early intervention is warranted. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the safety and acceptance of a combined exercise and nutrition intervention during and after first-line chemotherapy. DESIGN The pilot study was conducted as a monocentric 1:1 randomised controlled trial (RCT) with an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). Participants were divided by chance into IG or CG. Information on group allocation was conveyed to the study coordinator responsible for making an appointment with the patients for the baseline assessment as well as the physiotherapist and nutritionist responsible for the intervention and outcome assessment in both groups. PARTICIPANTS Eligibility criteria included women ≥18 years of age, diagnosed with ovarian cancer, tubal cancer or peritoneal cancer and primary or interval debulking, scheduled but not started adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy and sufficient German-language skills. INTERVENTION The IG received a 12-month exercise and nutrition programme, the CG continued to follow usual care. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcomes were recruitment rate, adherence to intervention, completion rate and adverse events. In addition, in-person assessments (eg, HRQoL, CRF, muscle quality and function and dietary intake and quality) were conducted at baseline (T0, before chemotherapy), week 9 (T1, mid-chemotherapy), week 19 (T2, after completion of chemotherapy) and after 12 months of intervention (T3). RESULTS Of 60 eligible patients, 15 patients signed informed consent (recruitment rate=25.0%) and were randomised into IG (n=8) and CG (n=7). Eleven participants completed the study (completion rate, 73.3%), one patient dropped out due to loss of interest, one due to poor health, one was lost to follow-up and one patient died. CONCLUSION The BENITA (Bewegungs- und Ernährungsintervention bei Ovarialkrebs) study demonstrated the safety and acceptance of an exercise and nutrition intervention integrated into first-line therapy and follow-up care of ovarian cancer. A large multicentre RCT is planned to investigate the effectiveness of the intervention on HRQoL, CRF and survival and to establish means of implementation into oncology guidelines and clinic routine.

Abstract
Globally, many developing countries are facing silent epidemics of nutritional deficiencies in human beings and animals. The lack of diversity in diet, i.e., cereal-based crops deficient in mineral nutrients is an additional threat to nutritional quality. The present review accounts for the significance of biofortification as a process to enhance the productivity of crops and also an agricultural solution to address the issues of nutritional security. In this endeavor, different innovative and specific biofortification approaches have been discussed for nutrient enrichment of field crops including cereals, pulses, oilseeds and fodder crops. The agronomic approach increases the micronutrient density in crops with soil and foliar application of fertilizers including amendments. The biofortification through conventional breeding approach includes the selection of efficient genotypes, practicing crossing of plants with desirable nutritional traits without sacrificing agricultural and economic productivity. However, the transgenic/biotechnological approach involves the synthesis of transgenes for micronutrient re-translocation between tissues to enhance their bioavailability. Soil microorganisms enhance nutrient content in the rhizosphere through diverse mechanisms such as synthesis, mobilization, transformations and siderophore production which accumulate more minerals in plants. Different sources of micronutrients viz. mineral solutions, chelates and nanoparticles play a pivotal role in the process of biofortification as it regulates the absorption rates and mechanisms in plants. Apart from the quality parameters, biofortification also improved the crop yield to alleviate hidden hunger thus proving to be a sustainable and cost-effective approach. Thus, this review article conveys a message for researchers about the adequate potential of biofortification to increase crop productivity and nourish the crop with additional nutrient content to provide food security and nutritional quality to humans and livestock.

Abstract
Background and aims Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are considered a cornerstone in the treatment plan of malnutrition in cancer patients. However, the prevalence of inappropriate prescription of ONS is high. In this study, we aim to investigate the effect of inappropriate oral nutritional supplementation (consisting of prescription of ONS without evident clinical indication, or the absence of ONS when at risk of malnutrition) on the quality of life of cancer outpatients. Methods A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in 104 cancer outpatients, receiving ONS without prior malnutrition risk screening (n = 51), and patients not receiving ONS (n = 53). Nutritional risk screening was performed using the abridged patient-generated subjective global assessment (ab-PG-SGA). The quality of life was assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 version 3.0 questionnaire. Multivariate analysis was conducted to determine the predictors of quality-of-life scales. Age (years), malnutrition (ab-PG-SGA scores), BMI (kg/m2), TSF (mm), MUAC (cm), ONS (yes, no) were entered into the linear regression analysis as predictors (backward stepwise linear regression analysis). Results The prevalence of malnutrition risk (ab-PG-SGA ≥ 6) was 74%. The median score of the ab-PG-SGA for ONS receiving group was significantly higher (p = 0.045). Furthermore, univariate analysis showed that the scores of the global health status (QoL) and the role functioning (RF) scales were significantly lower for the ONS receiving group (p = 0.020 and p = 0.016, respectively). Multivariately, malnutrition, inappropriate ONS prescription, and triceps skin fold were found to be predictors of the RF scale, while malnutrition was the only predictor for the QoL. Conclusion The inappropriate ONS prescription does not improve nutritional status or quality of life of cancer outpatients.

Abstract
Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) present multiple symptoms that increase the risk of malnutrition. Nutritional care, including enteral nutrition (EN), plays a crucial role in the management of this group of patients. The aim of the study was to determine the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM)-based stages of malnutrition and the relationship with selected biochemical parameters during the home enteral nutrition (HEN) qualification visit of patients with HNC. The retrospective analysis involved 224 patients with HNC referred for HEN. The following parameters were evaluated: body mass index (BMI), percent weight loss, and laboratory tests (serum albumin, total serum protein, C-reactive protein (CRP), and total lymphocyte count (TLC)). Malnutrition was defined using GLIM-based criteria. The prevalence of malnutrition based on GLIM criteria was 93.75% (15.18% moderately malnourished, 78.57% severely malnourished). There was a positive correlation between malnutrition based on GLIM criteria, serum albumin, and CRP. In the model assessing the odds of severe malnutrition according to the criteria of GLIM, TLC and CRP had a statistically significant effect on the chance in the probability of qualifying a patient to the severe malnutrition group, but the strength of the results was weak. The prevalence of malnutrition in HNC patients enrolled to HEN is high and most of them are severely malnourished. This suggests that it is important to identify more efficiently patients with risk of malnutrition at an earlier stage. GLIM criteria for malnutrition can be easily applied in this group of patients, but the definition of inflammation criteria should be clarified.

Abstract
Enterocutaneous fistula is any communication between bowel and skin or atmosphere outside the body. It can be classified by various means by etiology, organ of origin, etc. Enterocutaneous fistula can occur after any gastrointestinal surgery where there is some trauma during surgery or other associated causes such as malignancy, inflammatory bowel disease, foreign body, etc. Enterocutaneous fistula needs a multidisciplinary approach as its management is a very tedious and complex process. Sepsis, malnutrition, and dyselectrolytemia are three key factors during the management of enterocutaneous fistula, so these should be properly addressed for better and efficient outcomes. There is excess fistula effluent which should be replaced adequately in high output fistula. The nutrition of the patient plays a vital role in the success of enterocutaneous fistula management so if the patient can tolerate oral or enteral feeding should be commenced as soon as possible otherwise parenteral nutrition should be advised. Wound care should be done aggressively, proper skincare, timely drainage of any localised abscesses should be done. Patients should be properly resuscitated and stabilised before any definitive investigations and management. Surgical therapy can be staged and should not be rushed which results in failure of this complex disease process.

Abstract
One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is an emerging bariatric procedure, yet data on its effect on the gastrointestinal tract are lacking. This study sought to evaluate the incidence of small-intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) following OAGB; explore its effect on nutritional, gastrointestinal, and weight outcomes; and assess post-OABG occurrence of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) and altered gut microbiota composition. A prospective pilot cohort study of patients who underwent primary-OAGB surgery is here reported. The pre-surgical and 6-months-post-surgery measurements included anthropometrics, glucose breath-tests, biochemical tests, gastrointestinal symptoms, quality-of-life, dietary intake, and fecal sample collection. Thirty-two patients (50% females, 44.5 ± 12.3 years) participated in this study, and 29 attended the 6-month follow-up visit. The mean excess weight loss at 6 months post-OAGB was 67.8 ± 21.2%. The glucose breath-test was negative in all pre-surgery and positive in 37.0% at 6 months (p = 0.004). Positive glucose breath-test was associated with lower reported dietary intake and folate levels and higher vitamin A deficiency rates (p ≤ 0.036). Fecal elastase-1 test (FE1) was negative for all pre-surgery and positive in 26.1% at 6 months (p = 0.500). Both alpha and beta diversity decreased at 6 months post-surgery compared to pre-surgery (p ≤ 0.026). Relatively high incidences of SIBO and PEI were observed at 6 months post-OAGB, which may explain some gastrointestinal symptoms and nutritional deficiencies.

Abstract
Undernutrition, such as stunting and underweight, is a major public health concern, which requires multi-sectoral attention. Diet plays a key role in growth and should optimally supply all required nutrients to support the growth. While millets (defined broadly to include sorghum) are traditional foods, and climate smart nutritious crops, which are grown across Africa and Asia, they have not been mainstreamed like rice, wheat, and maize. Diversifying staples with millets can potentially provide more macro and micro nutrients, compared to the mainstream crops. However, there is little known scientific evidence to prove millets’ efficacy on growth. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to collate evidence of the benefits of millets in improving the growth of children. Eight eligible randomized feeding trials were included in the meta-analysis. Results from the randomized effect model showed a significant effect (p < 0.05) of millet-based diets on mean height (+28.2%) (n = 8), weight (n = 9) (+26%), mid upper arm circumference (n = 5) (+39%) and chest circumference (n = 5) (+37%) in comparison to regular rice-based diets over for the period of 3 months to 4.5 years, which was based on largely substituting rice with millets. When an enhanced and diverse diet was served, replacing rice with millet had only minimal growth improvement on chest circumference (p < 0.05). The quality assessment using GRADE shows that the evidence used for this systematic review and meta-analysis had moderate quality, based on eight scoring criteria. These results demonstrate the value of adding millet as the staple for undernourished communities. Further understanding of the efficacy of millets on growth in a wider range of diets is important to develop appropriate dietary programs and improve the nutritional status of various age groups across Africa and Asia.

Abstract
Sufficient postoperative dietary intake is crucial for ensuring a better surgical outcome. This study aimed to investigate the postoperative dietary intake achievement and predictors of postoperative dietary intake among gynecologic cancer patients. A total of 118 participants were included in this secondary analysis. Postoperative dietary data was pooled and re-classified into early postoperative dietary intake achievement (EDIA) (daily energy intake (DEI) ≥ 75% from the estimated energy requirement (EER)) and delay dietary intake achievement (DDIA) (DEI < 75% EER) There was a significant difference in postoperative changes in weight (p = 0.002), muscle mass (p = 0.018), and handgrip strength (p = 0.010) between the groups. Postoperative daily energy and protein intake in the EDIA was significantly greater than DDIA from operation day to discharged (p = 0.000 and p = 0.036). Four significant independent postoperative dietary intake predictors were found: preoperative whey protein-infused carbohydrate loading (p = 0.000), postoperative nausea vomiting (p = 0.001), age (p = 0.010), and time to tolerate clear fluid (p = 0.016). The multilinear regression model significantly predicted postoperative dietary intake, F (4, 116) = 68.013, p = 0.000, adj. R2 = 0.698. With the four predictors’ recognition, the integration of a more specific and comprehensive dietitian-led supportive care with individualized nutrition intervention ought to be considered to promote functional recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the common congenital malformations in children and cause malnutrition. We determine the association between dietary nutrient intake and nutritional status of children with CHD. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN 428 children of age 1-10 years with CHD admitted. The dietary nutrient intake was recorded after 3 days of 24-h recall. The growth and nutritional status of children were evaluated using anthropometric measurements and z-scores. RESULTS The prevalence of malnutrition was 37.6% in CHD. 57.8%, 12.6%, 43.8%, and 40.6% of children did not meet their requirements for energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrate, respectively. The prevalence of insufficient intake was 88.3% for calcium, 35.9% for magnesium, 21.9% for iron, and 12.5% for zinc. 15%-86% of children did not meet vitamin requirements. 85.2% and 53.9% of children did not meet their requirements for vitamin A and vitamin C. The prevalence of insufficient intake was 39.1% for thiamin, 24.2% for riboflavin, 15.6% for niacin and 28.1% for vitamin E. Compared with the normal nutrition group, malnutrition group had a relatively lower intake of proteins, iron, zinc and vitamin E. CONCLUSIONS An obvious deficiency of dietary nutrient intake was found among children with CHD, especially CHD with malnutrition. Dietary intake related to the nutritional status of children with CHD. The gap between actual consumption and recommendation indicates a need for improved nutritional counseling and monitoring. Early interventions targeting the dietary intakes of children with CHD may be a benefit for long-term effects associated with nutritional status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polypharmacy, frailty and malnutrition are known predictors of adverse outcomes in dialysis patients. Little has reported about their interaction and composite prognostic values. We aimed to describe the interaction between polypharmacy, frailty, nutrition, hospitalization, and survival in peritoneal dialysis patients. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, we recruited 573 peritoneal dialysis patients. Drug burden was measured by medication number and daily pill load. Frailty and nutrition were assessed by the validated Frailty Score (FQ) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) respectively. All patients were followed for two years. Primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes were fall and fracture episodes, hospitalization, change in FQ and SGA. RESULTS At baseline, each patient took 7.5 ± 2.6 medications with 15.5 ± 8.5 tablets per day. Medication number, but not daily pill load predicted baseline FQ (p = 0.004) and SGA (p = 0.03). Over 2 years, there were 69 fall and 1,606 hospitalization episodes. In addition, 148 (25.8%) patients died, while FQ and SGA changed by 0.73 ± 4.23 and -0.07 ± 1.06 respectively in survivors. Medication number (hospitalization: p = 0.02, survival: p = 0.005), FQ (hospitalization: p < 0.001; survival: p = 0.01) predicted hospitalization and survival. Medication number also predicted fall episodes (p = 0.02) and frailty progression (p = 0.002). Daily pill load did not predict any of these outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Drug burden is high in peritoneal dialysis patients, and it carries important prognostic implication. Medication number but not pill load significantly predicted onset and progression of frailty, malnutrition, fall, hospitalization, and mortality.

Abstract
Clinical Nutrition for the Medical Patient: From Screening to Diagnosis and Start of Nutritional Therapy Abstract. With the demographic increase of elderly, multimorbid patients, the number of those with disease-related malnutrition is also steadily increasing. We now know that malnutrition is a strong and independent risk factor for morbidity, mortality, and poor quality of life. Fortunately, however, several studies have shown that malnutrition screening followed by physiological nutritional therapy to meet individual nutritional goals has a positive impact on the clinical course of medical patients. In this context, Nutritional Risk Screening is suitable as a tool for assessing nutritive risk in hospitalized and ambulatory patients in family practice. Patients at risk for malnutrition should undergo an in-depth clinical assessment in an interdisciplinary team of nutritionists, nurses, and physicians to clarify the etiology of malnutrition and risk factors, and to examine the indication for nutritional therapy. Such nutrition therapy should be individually tailored to the patient's nutritional needs (calorie, protein, and micronutrient requirements), the underlying disease and the patient's preferences. Patients should be closely monitored, and the therapy should be adapted during the disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this literature review is to provide a comprehensive overview of methods for early identification of cancer-related malnutrition and/or risk of malnutrition in patients with colorectal cancer. The focus is also on applicability and feasibility of the use of nutritional tools in oncology clinical practice. METHODS The literature search was conducted from November to December 2020 in the health science databases by two independent persons. Inclusion criteria were English and German language and articles from 2010 to 2020. Data analysis was carried out through a structured procedure. The research questions guided the literature review. RESULTS After removing duplicates and screening titles and abstracts, a total of 35 studies were identified as suitable publications and further analyzed. Eventually, nine original studies, with a total of 926 patients with colorectal cancer before or before and after surgery, addressed assessment measures for early identification of the risk or presence of malnutrition. The following types of nutritional assessment have been described: nutritional anthropometric measurements, laboratory chemistry diagnostics for malnutrition, and several validated nutritional screening and assessment tools. The nutritional tools demonstrate differences in terms of application and content. None of the reviewed studies was a randomized trial. There is little scientific evidence to underpin their specific application in identifying early cancer-related malnutrition in patients with colorectal cancer. CONCLUSION The early assessment of nutritional status in this patient group seems to lack evidence-based standardization in oncology clinical practice. Different groups of health professionals are involved; however, studies do not describe standardized roles. Physical activity as part of nutritional screening is not yet included in the analyzed screening tools.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this project was to assess malnutrition risk in a well-defined cohort of pancreatic diseases. METHODS We performed a retrospective, cross-sectional study of 401 subjects with available malnutrition screening tool scores who received care at a single outpatient pancreas clinic during a 6-month study period. Univariate analyses were performed to compare demographic, anthropometric, symptoms/diseases, and risk for malnutrition characteristics across 3 strata of diseases: acute pancreatitis (n = 141), chronic pancreatitis (n = 193), and other pancreatic diagnoses (n = 67). RESULTS A total of 18% of subjects were identified as at risk for malnutrition, including 25% who reported involuntary weight loss and/or decreased appetite. Subjects categorized as at risk for malnutrition were more likely to have gastrointestinal symptoms. Although the nutrition consultation rates were higher in subjects at risk for malnutrition (P = 0.03), 66% did not receive a clearly indicated dietary evaluation or management recommendations. One fifth of all patients in an ambulatory pancreas clinic are identified as at risk for malnutrition using a simple, validated tool. CONCLUSIONS The majority of patients at increased risk for nutritional complications did not receive nutritional recommendations.

Abstract
Refeeding Syndrome: Where Do We Stand in 2022? Abstract. The refeeding syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur when refeeding malnourished patients. In recent years, two consensus manuscripts were published by the major clinical nutrition societies ESPEN and ASPEN. Pathophysiological aspects, clinical manifestations, prevention measures and criteria for diagnosis and management have been described in detail. The aim of this mini-review is to provide an evidence-based overview on the refeeding syndrome. For this purpose, the systematic literature search by Friedli et al. 2015 was updated. Evidence that the refeeding syndrome is associated with a negative clinical outcome exists. Many questions about management aspects remain unanswered. A robust randomized controlled trial is urgently needed to answer all these questions in an evidence-based manner and to elicit reliable evidence about independent predictors and an estimate of metabolic risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Studies using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria for patients with liver cirrhosis are limited. This study aimed to assess the impact of malnutrition according to the GLIM criteria on the outcomes of patients awaiting a liver transplant (LTx) and compare these criteria with Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). METHODS This retrospective observational study included adult patients awaiting LTx. Patient clinical data, nutritional status according to various tools including SGA, and resting energy expenditure were assessed. The distinct phenotypic and etiologic criteria provided 36 different GLIM combinations. The GLIM criteria and SGA were compared using the kappa coefficient. The variables associated with mortality before and after the LTx and with a longer length of stay (LOS) after LTx (≥18 days) were assessed by Cox regression and logistic regression analyses, respectively. RESULTS A total of 152 patients were included [median age 52.0 (interquartile range: 46.5-59.5) years; 66.4% men; 63.2% malnourished according to SGA]. The prevalence of malnutrition according to the GLIM criteria ranged from 0.7% to 30.9%. The majority of the GLIM combinations exhibited poor agreement with SGA. Independent predictors of mortality before and after LTx were presence of ascites or edema (p = 0.011; HR:2.58; CI95%:1.24-5.36), GLIM 32 (PA-phase angle + MELD) (p = 0.026; HR:2.08; CI95%:1.09-3.97), GLIM 33 (PA + MELD-Na≥12) (p = 0.018; HR:2.17; CI95%:1.14-4.13), and GLIM 34 (PA + Child-Pugh) (p = 0.043; HR:1.96; CI95%:1.02-3.77). Malnutrition according to GLIM 28 (handgrip strength + Child-Pugh) was independently associated with a longer LOS (p = 0.029; OR:7.21; CI95%:1.22-42.50). CONCLUSION The majority of GLIM combinations had poor agreement with SGA, and 4 of the 36 GLIM combinations were independently associated with adverse outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Malnutrition, mainly caused by inadequate energy intake, predicts poor prognostic outcome in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. In this study, we aim to explore the effect of non-protein energy supplement in CKD stage 3b-5 (CKD3b-5) malnourished patients with or without receiving continuous peritoneal dialysis (PD). METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN 30 patients with CKD3b-5 and 20 patients who received PD were identified as malnourished according to Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), and enrolled into this clinical study. Compared with the control group which just received regular nutrition counseling, an additional non-protein energy supplement (600 kcal) was given to the participants for 12 weeks in the intervention group. Before and after study, the nutritional status of patients was judged by human body composition measurement, anthropometric parameters, physical fitness test, and quality of life survey. Other biochemical indexes relating to nutrition, renal function and inflammatory response were also included for disease evaluation. RESULTS After 12 weeks of oral non-protein energy supplementation, the body weight, body fat and associated anthropometric parameters significantly increased upon intervention. Also, the participants showed enhanced physical fitness and better life quality in the intervention group. Consistently, the improved nutritional status was further confirmed by biochemical examinations. However, we did not observe a perceptible change of renal function, measured residual renal function, or general inflammatory response indices after intervention. CONCLUSIONS 12 weeks of oral non-protein energy supplement could efficiently improve the nutritional status of CKD3b-5 patients and those who receive peritoneal dialysis; meanwhile, it has little effect on renal function and inflammatory response.

Abstract
The prevalence of the double burden of malnutrition in society is well known with the coexistence of undernutrition with an increase in overweight/obesity; this has been increasing globally with nutritional imbalances and infectious diseases being the major etiological factors. However, there is also the coexistence of inappropriate adiposity or metabolic dysfunction in an individual who appears currently undernourished by anthropometric standards (stunted or underweight); this is the intraindividual double burden of malnutrition. It could also occur in temporal sequence, as anthropometric overweight in an individual who has previously endured childhood under-nutrition. IIDBM has increased the risk for diet-related non-communicable diseases over the past few decades, as it tracks into adulthood, warranting an urgent need for intervention and prevention. While gut dysbiosis has been associated with various forms of malnutrition, the early life gut microbiome composition and its related metabolites and regulatory factors, are possibly linked to the development of inflammatory and metabolic conditions in IIDBM. The possible underlying physiological mechanisms are reviewed here, working through host dietary influences, gut microbial metabolites, host inflammation and metabolic dysregulation. When validated experimentally and tested through appropriately designed randomised, controlled trials, these mechanistic insights will likely lead to development of preventive strategies.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is a highly effective treatment option for morbid obesity. Short- and long-term effects of bariatric surgery are not limited to weight loss but include resolution of type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension, improvement of cardiovascular health, and overall mortality. The long life expectancy of patients undergoing bariatric procedures means many of these patients will succumb to other diseases. Altered GI anatomy after bariatric procedures could prove an obstacle in treatment. We present our management of one such occurrence. The patient, who had 5 years previously undergone a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, presented after a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage which resulted in spastic tetraplegia. He was unable to consume food and was at risk of malnutrition. A decision was made to laparoscopically create a percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG) into the excluded stomach, allowing for the use of standard feeding formula and avoiding the need for parenteral nutrition and prolonged hospitalization due to metabolic complications. The growing number of patients following bariatric procedures directs the need for novelty treatment options suited to the altered anatomy and physiology of the patient post-bariatric surgery. Prompt evaluation of long-term complications after cardiovascular events in patients operated with bariatric surgical technics reduced nutritional complications, rated hospital stay, and improved quality of life. In those patients who, due to the localization of the brain defect, are expected to be unable to feed independently due to the consequences of the latter and have either long-term or lifelong feeding through feeding tubes, it is necessary to establish an enteral feeding pathway through which the patient can receive a standard nutritional formula. This prevents the patient from developing metabolic complications and related complications. At the same time, we enable inpatient accommodation without the risk of dietary complications associated with bariatric surgery.
