Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is present in 20-50% of hospital patients but its recognition is often neither timely nor complete. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) aims to improve this, but its successful implementation may be compromised by its dependence on (a choice of) prior screening tools and difficulties in consistent assessment of muscle mass. AIMS To explore different approaches to screening and muscle assessment in GLIM and to offer simpler choices for its more widespread application. METHODS (1) Data from 300 consenting in-patients provided Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002), Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) scores. GLIM scoring was preceded by NRS-2002 or MUST (using threshold scores of 1 or 2 for MUST), or no prior screening. The results of GLIM scoring preceded by different screening approaches were compared with those of SGA. (2) The literature on mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and calf circumference (CC) as simple, non-invasive, objective methods of muscle assessment methods was reviewed (3) The cumulative times taken to obtain GLIM scores were measured and corrected for the different screening strategies. RESULTS (1) Participants' mean age was 60 years, 157 (52%) were female and mean BMI was 27.8 kg/m2. In comparison with SGA, GLIM with no prior screening had the highest sensitivity (65%) and negative predictive value (NPV) (76%), but the lowest specificity (90%) and positive predictive value (PPV) (84%). The equivalent figures for GLIM with prior MUST "1" were 62%, 75%, 93% and 88%; with prior NRS-2002, 55%∗, 73%, 98%∗ and 95%∗; and with prior MUST "2", 44%∗, 69%∗, 98%∗, 95%∗. The area under an ROC curve was the highest (0.78) when GLIM was performed without screening or with prior MUST "1". (2) Being less affected by oedema and gender differences than calf circumference, MUAC could serve as a standard globally accessible muscle mass assessment method which can be supplemented by technical approaches if available and deemed necessary. (3) The overall per-capita time requirement of GLIM was 240-245 s without prior screening, and was increased by 2-3% with prior MUST "1", by 27-29% with prior NRS-2002 and decreased by 8-9% with prior MUST "2". CONCLUSIONS Preceding GLIM by screening can decrease its sensitivity and increase overall time utilisation; "gold standard" muscle assessment is not globally accessible. Our results therefore support considering using GLIM as a combined screening and assessment tool, with MUAC as the method of muscle assessment which can be supplemented by technical approaches if available and deemed necessary. This could potentially both simplify the use of GLIM and improve the early detection of malnutrition. ∗Indicates statistically significant difference from use of GLIM without prior screening.

[PMID: 38865763 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2024.05.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced muscle mass is a criterion for diagnosing malnutrition using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria; however, the choice of muscle-mass indicators within the GLIM criteria remains contentious. This study aimed to establish muscle-measurement-based GLIM criteria using data from bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) and anthropometric evaluations and evaluate their ability to predict overall survival (OS), short-term outcomes, and healthcare burden in patients with cancer. METHODS This was a multicenter, prospective study that commenced in 2013 and enrolled participants from various clinical centers across China. We constructed GLIM criteria based on various muscle measurements, including fat-free mass index (FFMI), skeletal muscle index (SMI), calf circumference (CC), midarm circumference (MAC), midarm muscle circumference (MAMC), and midarm muscle area (MAMA). Survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and survival curves were compared using the log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess the independent association between the GLIM criteria and OS. The discriminatory performance of different muscle-measurement-based GLIM criteria for mortality was evaluated using Harrell's concordance index (C-index). Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association of the GLIM criteria with short-term outcomes and healthcare burden. RESULTS A total of 4769 patients were included in the analysis, of whom 1659 (34.8%) died during the study period. The Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated that all muscle-measurement-based GLIM criteria significantly predicted survival in patients with cancer (all p < 0.001). The survival rate of malnourished patients was approximately 10% lower than that of non-malnourished patients. Cox proportional hazards regression showed that all the muscle-measurement-based GLIM could independently predict the OS of patients (all p < 0.001). The prognostic discrimination was as follows: MAMC (Chi-square: 79.61) > MAMA (Chi-square: 79.10) > MAC (Chi-square: 64.09) > FFMI (Chi-square: 62.33) > CC (Chi-square: 58.62) > ASMI (Chi-square: 57.29). In comparison to the FFMI-based GLIM criteria, the ASMI-based criteria (-0.002, 95% CI: -0.006 to 0.002, p = 0.334) and CC-based criteria (-0.003, 95% CI: -0.007 to 0.002, p = 0.227) did not exhibit a significant advantage. However, the MAC-based criteria (0.001, 95% CI: -0.003 to 0.004, p = 0.776), MAMA-based criteria (0.004, 95% CI: 0.000-0.007, p = 0.035), and MAMC-based criteria (0.005, 95% CI: 0.000-0.007, p = 0.030) outperformed the FFMI-based GLIM criteria. Logistic regression showed that muscle measurement-based GLIM criteria predicted short-term outcomes and length of hospital stay in patients with cancer. CONCLUSION All muscle measurement-based GLIM criteria can effectively predict OS, short-term outcomes, and healthcare burden in patients with cancer. Anthropometric measurement-based GLIM criteria have potential for clinical application as an alternative to BIA-based measurement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Tools for screening of nutrition risk in patients with cancer are usually validated against other screening instruments. Here with the performance of Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) and Nutritional Screening Tool (NUTRISCORE) to identify the risk of malnutrition was assessed. A full nutritional evaluation and diagnosis following criteria from the Global Leadership Initiative of Malnutrition (GLIM) was the reference standard for the classification of malnutrition. METHODS Diagnostic test prospective analysis of adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of cancer. MST, NUTRISCORE and nutritional evaluation and diagnosis by GLIM criteria were independently performed within 24 h of admission to a 4th tier hospital in Bogotá, Colombia. RESULTS From 439 patients the sensitivity and specificity of MST was 75% and 94% and of NUTRISCORE 45% and 97% respectively. The area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were 0.90 for MST and 0.85 for NUTRISCORE (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION The MST showed a significantly better diagnostic performance over NUTRISCORE for detection of malnutrition risk at admission to hospital of patients with cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of diet quality on malnutrition in older adults is uncertain, due the paucity of the research conducted and the use of use of screening tools that did not consider phenotypic criteria of malnutrition. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of two indices of diet quality, namely the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS) and the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI-2010), with malnutrition among community-dwelling older adults in Spain. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of data from 1921 adults aged ≥ 60 years from the Seniors-ENRICA-1 (SE-1) study, and 2652 adults aged ≥ 65 years from the Seniors-ENRICA-2 (SE-2) study. Habitual food consumption was assessed through a validated diet history. Malnutrition was defined according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) phenotypic criteria. Statistical analyses were performed with logistic regression with adjustment for socioeconomic and lifestyle variables as well as for total energy and protein intake. RESULTS The prevalence of malnutrition in the SE-1 study was 9.5% (95% confidence interval: 8.2 to 10.9) and 11.7% (10.5 to 13.9) in the SE-2. Adherence to the MEDAS score was associated with lower prevalence of malnutrition [pooled odds ratio for high (≥ 9 points) vs. low adherence (< 7 points): 0.64 (0.48-0.84); p-trend < 0.001]. Higher adherence to the AHEI-2010 also showed an inverse association with malnutrition (pooled odds ratio for quartile 4 vs. 1: 0.65 (0.49-0.86); p-trend 0.006). Among the individual components, higher consumption of fish and long-chain n-3 fatty acids in MEDAS and AHEI-2010, and of vegetables and nuts and legumes in AHEI-2010, and lower intake of trans-fat and sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice in AHEI-2010 were independently associated with lower odds of malnutrition. CONCLUSION Adherence to high diet-quality patterns was associated with lower frequency of malnutrition among older adults. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02804672.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The key step of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) is nutritional risk screening, while the most appropriate screening tool for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is yet unknown. The GLIM diagnosis relies on weight loss information, and bias or even failure to recall patients' historical weight can cause misestimates of malnutrition. We aimed to compare the suitability of several screening tools in GLIM diagnosis, and establish machine learning (ML) models to predict malnutrition in CRC patients without weight loss information. METHODS This multicenter cohort study enrolled 4487 CRC patients. The capability of GLIM diagnoses combined with four screening tools in predicting survival probability was compared by Kaplan-Meier curves, and the most accurate one was selected as the malnutrition reference standard. Participants were randomly assigned to a training cohort (n = 3365) and a validation cohort (n = 1122). Several ML approaches were adopted to establish models for predicting malnutrition without weight loss data. We estimated feature importance and reserved the top 30% of variables for retraining simplified models. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were calculated to assess and compare model performance. RESULTS NRS-2002 was the most suitable screening tool for GLIM diagnosis in CRC patients, with the highest hazard ratio (1.59; 95% CI, 1.43-1.77). A total of 2076 (46.3%) patients were malnourished diagnosed by GLIM combined with NRS-2002. The simplified random forest (RF) model outperformed other models with an AUC of 0.830 (95% CI, 0.805-0.854), and accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were 0.775, 0.835 and 0.742, respectively. We deployed an online application based on the simplified RF model to accurately estimate malnutrition probability in CRC patients without weight loss information (https://zzuwtt1998.shinyapps.io/dynnomapp/). CONCLUSIONS Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 was the optimal initial nutritional risk screening tool in the GLIM process. The RF model outperformed other models, and an online prediction tool was developed to properly identify patients at high risk of malnutrition.

Abstract
PURPOSE In 2019, the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) suggested a 2-step diagnostic format for malnutrition including screening and diagnosis. Prospective validation and feasibility studies, using the complete set of the five GLIM criteria, are needed. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of malnutrition, and investigate how the prevalence varied with mode of screening. Furthermore, we assessed the feasibility of GLIM in geriatric patients. METHODS Consecutive patients from two acute geriatric wards were included. For screening risk of malnutrition, the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) or Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) were used. In accordance with GLIM, a combination of phenotypic and etiologic criteria were required for the diagnosis of malnutrition. Feasibility was determined based on % data completeness, and above 80% completeness was considered feasible. RESULTS One hundred patients (mean age 82 years, 58% women) were included. After screening with MNA-SF malnutrition was confirmed by GLIM in 51%, as compared with 35% after screening with MST (p = 0.039). Corresponding prevalence was 58% with no prior screening. Using hand grip strength as a supportive measure for reduced muscle mass, 69% of the patients were malnourished. Feasibility varied between 70 and 100% for the different GLIM criteria, with calf circumference as a proxy for reduced muscle mass having the lowest feasibility. CONCLUSION In acute geriatric patients, the prevalence of malnutrition according to GLIM varied depending on the screening tool used. In this setting, GLIM appears feasible, besides for the criterion of reduced muscle mass.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), the incidence of malnutrition is quite high, and malnutrition has severe effects on NPC patients. However, there is currently no recognized gold standard or specific nutritional assessment tool available to assess malnutrition in NPC patients. Our objective was to develop and verify a new nomogram model for NPC patients. METHODS Data were collected from NPC patients. To evaluate risk factors for malnutrition, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used. Based on the risk factors, a new nomogram model was developed. The efficacy of the model was evaluated and validated. RESULTS Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥ 65 years, the number of chemotherapy cycles completed ≥ 1, a high total radiation dose received, low body mass index (BMI), low albumin, and low chloride were the risk factors. The assessment effect of the new model was good by evaluation and validation; it can be used as an assessment tool for malnutrition in NPC patients. CONCLUSIONS Age ≥ 65 years, completing ≥ 1 chemotherapy cycles, a high total radiation dose received, low BMI, low albumin, and low chloride levels are risk factors for malnutrition in NPC patients. The assessment effect of the new model, developed based on these risk factors, is good, and it can be used as an assessment tool for malnutrition in NPC patients.

Validity of the GLIM criteria for the diagnosis of malnutrition in patients with colorectal cancer: A multicenter study on the diagnostic performance of different indicators of reduced muscle mass and disease severity. Nutrition 2024; 119:112324. [PMID: 38215671 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2023.112324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/14/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the concurrent and predictive validity of different combinations of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria in patients with colorectal cancer considering different indicators of reduced muscle mass (MM) and the effects of the disease. METHODS A secondary analysis with patients with colorectal cancer. The reduced MM was assessed by arm muscle area, arm muscle circumference, calf circumference, fat-free mass index, skeletal muscle index (SMI) and skeletal muscle. Cancer diagnosis or disease staging (TNM) was considered for the etiologic criterion referred to as the effect of the disease. The other phenotypic and etiologic criteria were also evaluated, and we analyzed 13 GLIM combinations. Concurrent validity between GLIM criteria and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment was evaluated. Logistic and Cox regression were used in the predictive validation. RESULTS For concurrent validity (n = 208), most GLIM combinations (n = 6; 54.5%) presented a moderate agreement with Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment and none showed satisfactory sensitivity and specificity (>80%). Reduced MM evaluated by SMI and SMI were present in the GLIM combinations associated with postoperative complications (odds ratio, ≥2.0), independent of other phenotypic and etiologic criteria. The combinations with reduced MM considering any method and fixed phenotypic criteria and TNM were associated with mortality (hazard ratio, ≥2.0). CONCLUSIONS Satisfactory concurrent validity was not verified. The GLIM diagnosis of malnutrition was associated with postoperative complications and mortality.

Abstract
AIM Malnutrition is prevalent in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, linked to poor outcomes, necessitating early intervention. This study aimed to investigate malnutrition in HCC patients, assess Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) vs. Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, and identify independent risk factors. METHOD A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted on 207 patients with HCC. Nutritional screening/assessment results and blood samples were collected within 72 h of admission. This study assessed the prevalence of malnutrition using the NRS-2002 and PG-SGA and retrospectively using the GLIM criteria. The performance of the screening tools was evaluated using kappa (K) values. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine whether laboratory parameters were associated with malnutrition as identified by the GLIM criteria. RESULTS Of the participants, 30.4% were at risk of malnutrition according to NRS-2002. The agreement between the NRS-2002 and GLIM criteria was substantial. The GLIM criteria and PG-SGA diagnosed malnutrition in 43 and 54.6% of the participants, respectively. Age, anemia, and ascites correlated with malnutrition in regression. CONCLUSION The GLIM criteria, along with NRS-2002 and PG-SGA, aid in diagnosing malnutrition in HCC patients. Recognizing risk factors improves accuracy, enabling timely interventions for better outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Malnutrition is prevalent among gastric cancer (GC) patients, necessitating early assessment of nutritional status to guide monitoring and interventions for improved outcomes. We aim to evaluate the accuracy and prognostic capability of three nutritional tools in GC patients, providing insights for clinical implementation. METHODS The present study is an analysis of data from 1308 adult GC patients recruited in a multicenter from July 2013 to July 2018. Nutritional status was assessed using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002), Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. Bayesian latent class model (LCM) estimated the malnutrition prevalence of GC patients, sensitivity and specificity of nutritional tools. Cox regression model analyzed the relationship between nutritional status and overall survival (OS) in GC patients. RESULTS Among 1308 GC patients, NRS-2002, PG-SGA, and GLIM identified 50.46%, 76.76%, and 68.81% as positive, respectively. Bayesian LCM analysis revealed that PG-SGA had the highest sensitivity (0.96) for malnutrition assessment, followed by GLIM criteria (0.78) and NRS-2002 (0.65). Malnutrition or being at risk of malnutrition were identified as independent prognostic factors for OS. Use any of these tools improved survival prediction in TNM staging system. CONCLUSION PG-SGA is the most reliable tool for diagnosing malnutrition in GC patients, whereas NRS-2002 is suitable for nutritional screening in busy clinical practice. Given the lower sensitivity of NRS-2002, direct utilization of GLIM for nutritional assessment may be necessary. Each nutritional tool should be associated with a specific course of action, although further research is needed.

Abstract
Cancer patients are at high risk of malnutrition, which can lead to adverse health outcomes such as prolonged hospitalization, increased complications, and increased mortality. Accurate and timely nutritional assessment plays a critical role in effectively managing malnutrition in these patients. However, while many tools exist to assess malnutrition, there is no universally accepted standard. Although different tools have their own strengths and limitations, there is a lack of narrative reviews on nutritional assessment tools for cancer patients. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a non-systematic literature search using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from their inception until May 2023. A total of 90 studies met our selection criteria and were included in our narrative review. We evaluated the applications, strengths, and limitations of 4 commonly used nutritional assessment tools for cancer patients: the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM). Our findings revealed that malnutrition was associated with adverse health outcomes. Each of these 4 tools has its applications, strengths, and limitations. Our findings provide medical staff with a foundation for choosing the optimal tool to rapidly and accurately assess malnutrition in cancer patients. It is essential for medical staff to be familiar with these common tools to ensure effective nutritional management of cancer patients.

Abstract
Introduction There are no standardized assessment criteria for selecting nutritional risk screening tools or indicators to assess reduced muscle mass (RMM) in the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. We aimed to compare the consistency of different GLIM criteria with Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and protein-energy wasting (PEW). Methods In this study, nutritional risk screening 2002 first four questions (NRS-2002-4Q), Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002), Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), and Mini-Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF) tools were used as the first step of nutritional risk screening for the GLIM. The RMM is expressed using different metrics. The SGA and PEW were used to diagnose patients and classify them as malnourished and non-malnourished. Kappa (κ) tests were used to compare the concordance between the SGA, PEW, and GLIM of each combination of screening tools. Results A total of 157 patients were included. Patients with Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 1-3 accounted for a large proportion (79.0%). The prevalence rates of malnutrition diagnosed using the SGA and PEW were 18.5% and 19.7%, respectively. The prevalence of GLIM-diagnosed malnutrition ranges from 5.1% to 37.6%, depending on the different screening methods for nutritional risk and the different indicators denoting RMM. The SGA was moderately consistent with the PEW (κ = 0.423, p < 0.001). The consistency among the GLIM, SGA, and PEW was generally low. Using the NRS-2002-4Q to screen for nutritional risk, GLIM had the best agreement with SGA and PEW when skeletal muscle index (SMI), fat-free mass index (FFMI), and hand grip strength (HGS) indicated a reduction in muscle mass (SGA: κ = 0.464, 95% CI 0.28-0.65; PEW: κ = 0.306, 95% CI 0.12-0.49). Conclusion The concordance between the GLIM criteria and the SGA and PEW depended on the screening tool used in the GLIM process. The inclusion of RMM in the GLIM framework is important. The addition of HGS could further improve the performance of the GLIM standard compared to the use of body composition measurements.

Abstract
The correct identification of malnourished patients in the context of hip, knee, or spine surgery research would enhance the quality of analytical studies investigating the prediction potential of preoperative nutritional disorders on postoperative recovery. However, accurate malnutrition screening and diagnostic assessment rely on parameters that were not routinely collected in routine practice until a few years ago. The authors of this article present substitute literature-based equations that can be built up using historical routinely collected data to classify patients that had been at risk of malnutrition or malnourished. For what concerns the risk screening, several methods are available to identify patients at risk of over- or undernutrition, encompassing the BWd (body weight difference from the ideal weight), GNRI (geriatric nutritional risk index), INA (instant nutritional assessment), LxA (combination of lymphocyte count and albumin), PMA (protein malnutrition with acute inflammation), PMAC (protein malnutrition with acute and chronic inflammation), IDM (iron deficit malnutrition), and VBD (vitamin B deficit malnutrition). Conversely, the GLIM (global leadership initiative on malnutrition) criteria can be used to assess malnutrition and diagnose subclasses of undernutrition. Rational use of these tools can facilitate the conduction of efficient prospective studies in the future, as well as bespoke retrospective cohort studies and database research.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have shown that malnutrition before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is associated with poor patient prognoses. There is inconsistency among studies on which nutritional status screening tool is appropriate for malnutrition diagnosis before allo-HSCT. The present study aimed to compare nutritional screening tools in patients with leukemia before allo-HSCT. Methods An observational, cross-sectional, and single-center study was conducted in Tehran, Iran. One hundred four adults allo-HSCT candidates aged 18-55 years with leukemia were selected sequentially. Malnutrition assessment was done using three tools, the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM), nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS-2002) and European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) criteria. The agreement between malnutrition assessment tools was evaluated with Cohen's kappa. Results The agreement between GLIM and NRS-2002 was perfect (κ = 0.817, p < 0.001), while the agreement between GLIM and ESPEN was fair (κ = 0.362, p < 0.001). The agreement between NRS-2002 and ESPEN was fair (κ = 0.262, p < 0.001). We also found a moderate agreement for all tools (κ = 0.489, p < 0.001). Conclusion NRS-2002 is an accepted tool for screening malnutrition in hospitalized patients. In the current study, the GLIM criterion perfectly agreed with the NRS-2002. Further studies in the HSCT setting are needed to introduce a valid tool.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM There is an overlap between the risk factors causing low intake of water and low intake of nutrients, respectively. This study aims to explore the agreement between the assessment of malnutrition and the outcome of low-intake dehydration in a population of older hospitalized patients. METHODS Patients ≥65 years old and hospitalized at the geriatric hospital ward were screened for eligibility within 96 h of admission. Dehydration was assessed with the calculated serum osmolarity ≥295 mmol/L (1.86 × (Na+ + K+) + 1.15 × glucose + urea + 14), and (risk of) malnutrition was assessed with NRS-2002 ≥ 3 points, MNA-SF ≤ 7 points, MNA-LF < 17, MUST ≥ 2 points, and GLIM after screening with NRS-2002 and MNA-LF. Follow-up data regarding exercise rehabilitation, readmissions, and mortality was collected 30 days after discharge. Statistics used were the Chi-squared test, Fishers-exact test, and Wilcoxon signed rank test. RESULTS A total of 114 patients (57% females) were included. Median age 85.5 (IQR 80; 89.25) years. A total of 49 (43%) were dehydrated. Fewer females were dehydrated (F: 42.9% vs. M: 67.7%, p = 0.013). The patients with osmolarity ≥295 mmol/L had a higher median weight (68.3 (IQR 58.5; 78.4) vs. 62 (IQR 51.8; 72.1), p = 0.021) and mid-up-arm circumference (27 (IQR 26; 30) vs. 25.5 (IQR 22.9; 28.3), p = 0.004). No significant difference was found in the prevalence of malnutrition between those with or without dehydration (NRS-2002; 70% vs. 81%, p = 0.174; MNA-SF: 23.1 vs. 23.2%, p = 1.0; MNA-LF: 37.1 vs. 30.2%, p = 0.644; MUST: 24.5 vs. 33.8%, p = 0.308; GLIM after screening with NRS-2002: 84.4 vs. 74.5%, p = 0.405, GLIM after screening with MNA-LF: 74.1 vs. 75.6%, p = 0.438). Kappa values varied around 0 and reflected low agreement. There were no differences in the follow-up data, between those who were normohydrated and those who were dehydrated. CONCLUSION We found low agreement between the assessment of malnutrition and low-intake dehydration in a population of older hospitalized patients. All geriatric patients should therefore be assessed for both conditions.

Coexistent GLIM-Defined Malnutrition and Sarcopenia Increase the Long-Term Mortality Risk in Hospitalized Patients with Decompensated Cirrhosis. ANNALS OF NUTRITION & METABOLISM 2023; 79:423-433. [PMID: 37725950 DOI: 10.1159/000534152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The synergistic impact of coexistent malnutrition and sarcopenia on morality in hospitalized patients with decompensated cirrhosis remains elusive. This prospective cohort study aimed to delineate the prevalence concerning coexistence of malnutrition and sarcopenia and the prognosticating role on long-term mortality among cirrhosis. METHODS Adult cirrhotic patients with decompensated episodes between 2019 and 2021 were consecutively enrolled. Malnutrition and sarcopenia were diagnosed according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) algorithm, respectively. The entire cohort was divided into three groups: non-malnutrition and non-sarcopenia (NN), malnutrition or sarcopenia, and coexistent malnutrition and sarcopenia (MS). Log-rank test and multivariate Cox regression model were utilized to evaluate survival status and independent risk factors for mortality, respectively. RESULTS Our findings indicated that malnutrition manifested in 44.6% of inpatients with decompensated cirrhosis, while sarcopenia presented in 16.4% of the entire cohort, indicative of a prevalence of 14.7% regarding coexistent malnutrition and sarcopenia. The Kaplan-Meier graphic demonstrated a significant difference regarding survival curves among the three groups, referring to the MS group presented with the lowest survival rate (log-rank test: p < 0.001). Moreover, coexistent malnutrition and sarcopenia were associated with nearly 4 times higher mortality risk (model 1: hazard ratio [HR] = 3.31, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20-9.13, p = 0.020; model 2: HR = 4.34, 95% CI: 1.52-12.4, p = 0.006) in comparison with patients without any condition (NN group). CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition and sarcopenia had superimposed negative impacts on inpatients with decompensated cirrhosis. It is imperative to identify this vulnerable subset to provide prompt therapeutic intervention for better prognosis.

Malnutrition diagnosed by GLIM criteria better predicts long-term outcomes for patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: A prospective multicenter cohort study. Hematol Oncol 2023; 41:371-379.

Abstract
Since Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) method was proposed, few studies have applied these new criteria to hematological tumors. In this study, we explored the prevalence of malnutrition according to the GLIM criteria and scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (sPG-SGA) and their association with 1-year, 3-year and 5-year mortality among patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Malnutrition of all patients were assessed by GLIM criteria and sPG-SGA. Relationship between the malnutrition based on GLIM criteria or sPG-SGA and mortality was investigated by Cox regression analyses. The performance of GLIM criteria was evaluated by assessing the sensitivity, specificity, k-value, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and time-dependent ROC. Of 963 patients with NHL, the prevalence of malnutrition was 38.8% with GLIM criteria, 65.3% with GLIM-omitted NRS-2002 and 53.2% with sPG-SGA. In comparison with sPG-SGA, the sensitivity of GLIM criteria was 61.7%, the specificity was 84.8%, and the agreement was moderate (k = 0.48, p < 0.001). Malnutrition based on GLIM criteria could also predict 3-year and 5-year mortality after adjusting for confounders, except for sPG-SGA (HR = 1.816, 95%CI = 1.274-2.589, p = 0.001 for 3-year mortality; HR = 1.707, 95%CI = 1.223-2.382, p = 0.002 for 5-year mortality). For patients with NHL, GLIM criteria could be applied as an effective replacement to sPG-SGA for nutrition assessment and mortality prediction, especially for predicting long-term prognostic outcomes.

Predictive Value of Malnutrition, Identified via Different Nutritional Screening or Assessment Tools, for Functional Outcomes in Patients with Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Nutrients 2023; 15:3280.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition affects more than half of patients with stroke. Although malnutrition leads to more deaths, a longer hospital stay, and higher costs, there is still a lack of consensus regarding the impact of malnutrition on physical functional outcomes in patients with stroke, and there are large differences in the diagnostic effects of nutritional screening or assessment tools for malnutrition. This study aimed to explore the impact of malnutrition in patients with stroke and assess the significance of current nutritional screening and assessment tools for these patients. METHODS Six databases were systematically searched until October 2022. Cohort studies meeting the eligibility criteria were included. Pooled effects were calculated using random-effects models. RESULTS Twenty-six studies with 21,115 participants were included. The pooled effects of malnutrition on poor functional outcome, FIM points, and dysphagia were OR = 2.72 (95% CI = 1.84-4.06), WMD = -19.42(95% CI = -32.87--5.96), and OR = 2.80 (95% CI = 1.67-4.67), respectively. CONCLUSION Malnutrition adversely affects the recovery of physical and swallowing functions in patients with stroke. Nutritional assessments consistently predict the outcomes of physical function in patients with stroke.

[PMID: 37538921 PMCID: PMC10396396 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1191804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Correct usage and maintenance of the enteral nutrition feeding pump system is always a challenge in nutrition support for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). However, there are few studies on the sustained accuracy improvement of the enteral nutrition feeding system in discharged CRC patients. Here, we established a seven-month quality control circle (QCC) activity with the theme of improving the performance of home enteral feeding pumps (EFP) and examined the effect of QCC activity on the nutritional state and quality of life in discharged CRC patients. We enrolled 100 discharged CRC patients treated with home enteral nutrition from Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between March 2020 and December 2021. The patients were randomly split into two research groups: one participated in the QCC activity (n = 50) and the other did not (n = 50). QCC analysis indicated that the top 3 causes of EFP inaccurate usage are the simple and boring contents of training, various types of pumps, no examination rules, and lack of management. Furthermore, both intra- and inter-group comparisons showed that QCC significantly improved the patients' pass rate of nutrition pump operation from 52 to 70% after 1-month of activity, which gradually improved and got the highest (90%) after 3 months (p < 0.05). Interestingly, the established QCC activity significantly increased the patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA) and Barthel index (BI) scores, body fat mass (BFM) and superior longitudinal muscle (SLM) by intra- and inter-group comparisons. In this study, we clarified the main causes of inaccurate EFP usage and established a QCC process to improve the pass rate of EFP usage. It finally leads to the improvement of nutritional state and quality of life in CRC patients.

Comparison of the performance of the GLIM criteria, PG-SGA and mPG-SGA in diagnosing malnutrition and predicting survival among lung cancer patients: A multicenter study. Clin Nutr 2023; 42:1048-1058.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The present study aimed to compare the ability of the GLIM criteria, PG-SGA and mPG-SGA to diagnose malnutrition and predict survival among Chinese lung cancer (LC) patients. METHODS This was a secondary analysis of a multicenter, prospective, nationwide cohort study, 6697 LC inpatients were enrolled between July 2013 and June 2020. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), area under the curve (AUC), and quadratic weighted Kappa coefficients were calculated to compare the ability to diagnose malnutrition. There were 754 patients who underwent follow-up for a median duration of 4.5 years. The associations between the nutritional status and survival were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models. RESULTS The median age of LC patients was 60 (53, 66), and 4456 (66.5%) were male. There were 617 (9.2%), 752 (11.2%), 1866 (27.9%), and 3462 (51.7%) patients with clinical stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ LC, respectively. Malnutrition was present in 36.1%-54.2% (as evaluated using different tools). Compared with the PG-SGA (used as the diagnostic reference), the sensitivity of the mPG-SGA and GLIM was 93.7% and 48.3%; the specificity was 99.8% and 78.4%; and the AUC was 0.989 and 0.633 (P < 0.001). The weighted Kappa coefficients were 0.41 for the PG-SGA vs. GLIM, 0.44 for the mPG-SGA vs. GLIM, and 0.94 for the mPG-SGA vs PG-SGA in patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ LC. These values were respectively 0.38, 0.39, and 0.93 in patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ of LC. In a multivariable Cox analysis, the mPG-SGA (HR = 1.661, 95%CI = 1.348-2.046, P < 0.001), PG-SGA (HR = 1.701, 95%CI = 1.379-2.097, P < 0.001) and GLIM (HR = 1.657, 95%CI = 1.347-2.038, P < 0.001) showed similar death hazard ratios. CONCLUSIONS The mPG-SGA provides nearly equivalent power to predict the survival of LC patients as the PG-SGA and the GLIM, indicating that all three tools are applicable for LC patients. The mPG-SGA has the potential to be an alternative replacement for quick nutritional assessment among LC patients.

Malnutrition screening tool and malnutrition universal screening tool as a predictors of prolonged hospital stay and hospital mortality: A cohort study. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2023; 54:430-435. [PMID: 36963890 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2023.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Different nutrition screening tools have been proposed to screen inpatients, although, there is still no consensus regarding the reference method for identifying patients at nutritional risk. This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the concurrent and predictive validity of the Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) and Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) to identify inpatients at nutritional risk. METHODS Data from electronic medical records were collected from adult and elderly inpatients in wards of a public tertiary hospital (Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Brazil) over one year. Only the first nutritional evaluation was considered for each patient. GLIM criteria was used for malnutrition status (concurrent validity) and hospital stay length and mortality were outcomes to predictive validity. RESULTS A total of 5270 patients were included in this study. The mean patient age was 59 ± 16 years old, and 50.7% were males. More than 60% of the patients (65.8%) were admitted to a surgical unit, 63.8% had mild disease-related metabolic stress, 50.7% experienced prolonged hospital stays (more than ten days), and 1.9% of the patients died. Considering the availability of nutritional data, it was possible to perform nutritional screening of 98.1% of patients by MST and 96.7% of patients by MUST. A higher proportion of patients at risk were identified by MUST (53.6%) as compared to MST (21.3%; P < 0.001). MST had 89.9% of Specificity, 60.4% of PPV, 94.6% of NPV, and a moderate agreement with malnutrition by GLIM criteria (κ = 0.591; P < 0.001). A prolonged hospital stay was positively associated with the classification of nutritional risk based on both screening tools. Death was positively associated with nutritional risk by MST (hazard ratio [HR] 2.09; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.37-3.16) and by MUST (HR 1.79; 95% CI 1.00-3.18) after adjustment based on sex, age, admission type (surgical or clinical), and disease-related metabolic stress. CONCLUSIONS MST may be good concurrent validity to malnutrition by GLIM criteria as compared to MUST. However, both risk nutritional tools were positively associated with predicting a prolonged hospital stay and mortality.

da Silva Couto A, Gonzalez MC, Martucci RB, Feijó PM, Rodrigues VD, de Pinho NB, Souza NC. Predictive validity of GLIM malnutrition diagnosis in patients with colorectal cancer. JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 2023; 47:420-428. [PMID: 36645343 DOI: 10.1002/jpen.2475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Considering that the validation of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) remains unclear in patients with colorectal cancer, the present study aimed to assess the agreement, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and prognostic effect of the GLIM on survival when compared with the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA). METHODS Patients with colorectal cancer who were scheduled to undergo a routine abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan were recruited. Using the GLIM two-step approach, the patients were first screened for malnutrition by using the PG-SGA Short Form (score ≥3). The malnutrition diagnosis was based on the etiologic (disease burden [cancer] or reduced food intake) and phenotypic GLIM criteria, including weight loss, body mass index, and skeletal muscle index at the third lumbar vertebra when using the CT scans. The food intake was assessed by the PG-SGA. RESULTS This study included 191 patients (age, 60.5 ± 11.3 years; 57% men), and 23% and 32% were malnourished according to the GLIM and the PG-SGA, respectively. The GLIM revealed fair sensitivity (64%), good agreement (kappa = 0.65), specificity (96%), and diagnostic accuracy for detecting malnutrition (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.80; 95% CI, 0.72-0.88) when compared with the PG-SGA. The malnutrition value according to the GLIM and the PG-SGA was associated with short-term survival. However, only the PG-SGA was associated with long-term survival. CONCLUSIONS Although showing fair sensitivity, the GLIM had good agreement, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy for malnutrition detection and was an independent predictor of short-term survival in patients with colorectal cancer.

Clin Nutr 2023; 42:615-624. [PMID: 36931162 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2023.02.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Malnutrition has been reported to lead to poor postoperative outcomes. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria were published in 2019 as a global consensus on the criteria for diagnosing malnutrition. However, the relationship between GLIM-defined malnutrition and treatment outcomes in patients with cancer has not been fully investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the impact of GLIM-defined malnutrition on the treatment outcomes of patients with cancer. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Platform Search Portal, and ClinicalTrials.gov and identified observational studies published from inception to January 17, 2022. We conducted a systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis studies that included patients with cancer aged >18 years who received any kind of treatment and whose nutritional status was assessed using GLIM criteria. We independently assessed the risk of bias and quality of evidence using Quality In Prognosis Studies and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and postoperative complications. Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for OS and relative risk ratios and 95% CIs for postoperative complications were pooled. The protocol was published by PROSPERO (CRD42022304004). RESULTS Of 67 studies after screening, ten studies (n = 11,700) reported the impact of GLIM-defined malnutrition on postoperative outcomes. Compared with no malnutrition, GLIM-defined malnutrition may worsen OS (hazard ratio, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.38-1.75; I2 = 37%) and increase postoperative complications (relative risk ratio, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.28-2.60; I2 = 87%). The risk of bias in each study was either moderate or high. The certainty of the evidence was low because of publication bias and a moderate or high risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS GLIM-defined malnutrition may worsen OS and increase the risk of postoperative complications in patients with cancer undergoing treatment. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and mitigate this risk.

Comparison of the GLIM criteria with specific screening tool for diagnosing malnutrition in hospitalized patients with cirrhosis: A descriptive cross-sectional study. JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 2023; 47:310-321. [PMID: 36128998 DOI: 10.1002/jpen.2452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) has been built to diagnose malnutrition; however, its validity among patients with cirrhosis remains enigmatic. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of malnutrition according to GLIM criteria and compare the differences by using a specific screening tool. METHODS We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study analyzing hospitalized patients. The Royal Free Hospital-Nutritional Prioritizing Tool (RFH-NPT) was chosen as the screening tool. Estimated prevalence was shown with and without the initial screening process. Diverse combinations of phenotypic and etiologic criteria and distinct body mass index (BMI) cutoffs were applied to detect frequency of malnourished patients with cirrhosis. RESULTS Overall, 363 patients were recruited (median age, 64 years; 51.2% female). The prevalence of malnutrition according to GLIM criteria with and without RFH-NPT screening was 33.3% and 36.4%, respectively. Low BMI and inflammation represented the most prevalent combination resulting in a malnutrition diagnosis (42.4%), followed by low BMI and reduced food intake (39.4%). By contrast, the least prevalence was found when combining reduced muscle mass with inflammation to diagnose malnutrition. Furthermore, the frequency of malnourished and well-nourished participants was not statistically different when using divergent BMI reference values across the study population. CONCLUSIONS GLIM criteria may serve a specific proxy to diagnose malnutrition, along with RFH-NPT screening. Relevant investigation is required to report on the applied combination of phenotypic/etiologic criteria, taking into consideration the marked impact of different models. More attempts are warranted to delineate the prognostic role of GLIM criteria in the context of cirrhosis.

A scoping review on the GLIM criteria for malnutrition diagnosis: Understanding how and for which purpose it has been applied in studies on hospital settings. Clin Nutr 2023; 42:29-44. [PMID: 36473426 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2022.10.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2022] [Revised: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
AIMS This scoping review aimed to identify and map the literature on malnutrition diagnosis made using the GLIM criteria in hospitalized patients. METHODS The scoping review was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute's methodology. We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science (until 16 April 2022) to identify studies based on the 'population' (adults or elderly patients), 'concept' (malnutrition diagnosis by the GLIM criteria), and 'context' (hospital settings) framework. Titles/abstracts were screened, and two independent reviewers extracted data from eligible studies. RESULTS Ninety-six studies were eligible (35.4% from China, 30.2% involving oncological patients, and 30.5% with prospective data collection), 32 followed the two-step GLIM approach, and 50 applied all the criteria. All the studies evaluated body mass index (BMI), while 92.7% evaluated weight loss; 77.1%, muscle mass; 93.8%, inflammation; and 70.8%, energy intake. A lack of details on the methods adopted for criterion evaluation was observed in five (muscle mass evaluation) to 40 studies (energy intake evaluation). The frequency of the use of the GLIM criteria ranged from 22.2% (frequency of low BMI) to 84.7% (frequency of inflammation), and the malnutrition prevalence ranged from 0.96% to 87.9%. Less than 30% of studies aimed to assess the GLIM criterion validity, eight studies cited the guidance on validation of the GLIM criteria, and a minority implemented it. CONCLUSIONS This map of studies on the GLIM criteria in hospital settings demonstrated that they are applied in a heterogeneous manner, with a wide range of malnutrition prevalence. Almost 50% of the studies applied all the criteria, while one-third followed the straightforward two-step approach. The recommendations of the guidance on validation of the criteria were scarcely adhered to. The gaps that need to be explored in future studies have been highlighted.

Abstract
Our objective was to identify the optimal method to assess reduced muscle mass (RMM) using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) approach and investigate the roles of the GLIM approach in nutrition assessment and survival prediction in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. During a median follow-up period of 4.2 (4.0, 4.4) years, a development cohort of 3612 CRC patients with a mean age of 64.09 ± 12.45 years was observed, as well as an external validation cohort of 875 CRC patients. Kaplan−Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression were adopted to analyze the association between GLIM-diagnosed malnutrition and the overall survival (OS) of CRC patients. A nomogram predicting individualized survival was constructed based on independent prognostic predictors. The concordance index, calibration curve, and decision curve were applied to appraise the discrimination, accuracy, and clinical efficacy of the nomogram, respectively. Patients diagnosed with severe malnutrition based on either the mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) or body weight-standardized hand grip strength (HGS/W) method had the highest mortality hazard ratio (HR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.34−1.70; p < 0.001). GLIM-defined malnutrition was diagnosed in 47.6% of patients. Severe malnutrition was an independent mortality risk factor for OS (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.10−1.42; p < 0.001). The GLIM nomogram showed good performance in predicting the survival of CRC patients and was clinically beneficial. Our findings support the effectiveness of GLIM in diagnosing malnutrition and predicting OS in CRC patients.

Comparison of nutritional risk screening with NRS2002 and the GLIM diagnostic criteria for malnutrition in hospitalized patients. Sci Rep 2022; 12:19743.

Abstract
Nutritional risk screening, to identify patients at risk of malnutrition, is the first step in the prevention and treatment of malnutrition in hospitalized patients, and should be followed by a thorough nutritional assessment resulting in a diagnosis of malnutrition and subsequent treatment. In 2019, a consensus on criteria has been suggested for the diagnosis of malnutrition by the Global Leadership Initiative for Malnutrition (GLIM). This study investigates the diagnosis of malnutrition in hospitalized patients using nutritional risk screening and the diagnostic assessment suggested by GLIM. Hospitalized patients (excluding cancer, intensive care, and transmissible infections) who underwent nutritional risk screening (by NRS2002) were included. Nutritional risk screening was followed by anthropometric measurements including measurement of muscle mass, assessment of dietary intake and measurement of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) for inflammation in all patients. Malnutrition was diagnosed according to the GLIM-criteria. In total, 328 patients (median age 71 years, 47% women, median length of stay 7 days) were included. Nutritional risk screening identified 143 patients as at risk of malnutrition, while GLIM criteria led to a diagnosis of malnutrition in 114 patients. Of these 114 patients, 77 were also identified as at risk of malnutrition by NRS2002, while 37 patients were not identified by NRS2002. Malnutrition was evident in fewer patients than at risk of malnutrition, as expected. However, a number of patients were malnourished who were not identified by the screening procedure. More studies should investigate the importance of inflammation and reduced muscle mass, which is the main difference between nutritional risk screening and GLIM diagnostic assessment.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate the value of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) scores in detecting malnutrition in patients with rectal cancer; the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) was used as the reference criterion. Materials and methods This study included patients with rectal cancer who underwent proctectomy. GNRI, PNI, and ALI were calculated to detect the GLIM-defined malnutrition using the Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between the nutritional tools and postoperative complications. Kaplan-Meier survival curves, log-rank tests, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to clarify the relationship between nutritional tools and overall survival (OS). Results This study enrolled 636 patients with rectal cancer. The GNRI demonstrated the highest sensitivity (77.8%), pretty specificity (69.0%), and the largest AUC (0.734). The GNRI showed good property in predicting major postoperative complications. All three nutritional tools were independent predictors of OS. Conclusion The GNRI can be used as a promising alternative to the GLIM and is optimal in perioperative management of patients with rectal cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cancer cachexia remains a complex unmet need in oncology, despite its high prevalence and high impact. Patients with cachexia experience numerous complications, including reduced tolerance and effectiveness of anti-cancer therapy, reduced mobility, and reduced functional status, leading to decreased quality of life and survival. AREAS COVERED As the field moves toward greater consensus of definitions and measurements, we highlight tools currently available for identification and staging of cachexia, and the barriers that people with cancer face in timely identification and management of cachexia. Multidisciplinary cachexia service models have emerged to address practice gaps and needs identified by patients and clinicians. Person-centred approaches to cachexia care demonstrate promising improvements in patient outcomes, but controlled trials of service models are lacking. EXPERT OPINION While significant advances have been made in the understanding of cachexia, future trials of clinical service models require standardisation of definitions and outcome measures, with more robust controlled studies to establish the efficacy of proposed best practice. We remain excited with the potential benefit of these innovative models and continue to advocate for implementation of dedicated multidisciplinary cachexia teams to ensure patients and their families receive the right support, in the right place, at the right time.

Malnutrition Screening and Assessment. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14122392.

Abstract
Malnutrition is a serious problem with a negative impact on the quality of life and the evolution of patients, contributing to an increase in morbidity, length of hospital stay, mortality, and health spending. Early identification is fundamental to implement the necessary therapeutic actions, involving adequate nutritional support to prevent or reverse malnutrition. This review presents two complementary methods of fighting malnutrition: nutritional screening and nutritional assessment. Nutritional risk screening is conducted using simple, quick-to-perform tools, and is the first line of action in detecting at-risk patients.
