Abstract
BACKGROUND Recommendations to facilitate evidence-based nutrition provision for critically ill children exist and indicate the importance of nutrition in this population. Despite these recommendations, it is currently unknown how well Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) are equipped to provide nutrition care. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this project were to describe the dietitian and nutrition-related practices and resources in ANZ PICUs. METHODS A clinician survey was completed as a component of an observational study across nine ANZ PICUs in June 2021. The online survey comprised 31 questions. Data points included reporting on dietetics resourcing, local feeding-related guidelines and algorithms, nutrition screening and assessment practices, anthropometry practices, and indirect calorimetry (IC) device availability and local technical expertise. Data are presented as frequency (%), mean (standard deviation), or median (interquartile range). RESULTS Survey responses were received from all nine participating sites. Dietetics staffing per available PICU bed ranged from 0.01 to 0.07 full-time equivalent (median: 0.03 [interquartile range: 0.02-0.04]). Nutrition screening was established in three (33%) units, all of which used the Paediatric Nutrition Screening Tool. Dietitians consulted all appropriate patients (or where capacity allowed) in six (66%) units and on a request or referral basis only in three (33%) units. All units possessed a local feeding guideline or algorithm. An IC device was available in two (22%) PICUs and was used in one of these units. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to describe the dietitian and nutrition-related practices and resources of ANZ PICUs. Areas for potential improvement include dietetics full-time equivalent, routine nutrition assessment, and access to IC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The workplace can play an important role in shaping the eating behaviors of U.S. adults. Unfortunately, foods obtained in the workplace tend to be low in nutritional quality. Questions remain about the best way to approach the promotion of healthy food purchases among employees and to what extent health promotion activities should be tailored to the demographic characteristics of the employees. The purpose of this study was to (1) assess the nutritional quality of lunchtime meal purchases by employees in cafeterias of a large organization, (2) examine associations between lunchtime meal quality selection and the demographic characteristics of employees, and (3) determine the healthfulness of foods and beverages offered in the cafeterias of this organization. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using secondary data from a food labeling study implemented in three worksite cafeterias. Demographic data was collected via surveys and meal data was collected using a photo capture system for 378 participants. The Healthy Eating Index 2015 (HEI-2015) was used to determine meal quality and a total score for the menu of options available in the cafeterias during the study period. Summary statistics were generated, and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the HEI-2015 scores between groups. RESULTS The mean HEI-2015 total score for the menu items offered (n = 1,229) in the cafeteria during the study period was 63.1 (SD = 1.83). The mean HEI-2015 score for individual lunchtime meal observations (n = 378) was 47.1 (SD = 6.8). In general, HEI-2015 total scores were higher for non-smokers, individuals who self-identified as Asian, had higher physical activity levels, scored higher on numeracy and literacy assessments, and reported higher education levels, incomes, and health status. CONCLUSIONS The overall HEI-2015 scores indicate that the menu of options offered in the cafeterias and individual meal selections did not align with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and there were significant associations between average lunchtime meal quality scores and several demographic characteristics. These results suggest that healthy eating promotion activities in workplaces may need to be tailored to the demographic characteristics of the employees, and efforts to improve the food environment in the workplace could improve meal quality for all employees.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hospital malnutrition is associated with higher healthcare costs and worse outcomes. Only a few prospective studies have evaluated trends in nutritional status during an acute stay, but these studies were limited by the short timeframe between nutrition assessments. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in nutritional status, incidence of hospital-acquired malnutrition (HAM), and the associated risk factors and outcomes in acute adult patients admitted for >14 days. METHODS A prospective observational cohort study was conducted in two medical and two surgical wards in a tertiary hospital in Brisbane, Australia. Nutrition assessments were performed using the Subjective Global Assessment at baseline (day eight) and weekly until discharge. Nutritional decline was defined as a change from well-nourished to moderate/severe malnutrition (HAM) or from moderate to severe malnutrition (further decline) >14 days after admission. RESULTS One hundred and thirty patients were included in this study (58.5% male; median age 67.0 years (IQR 24.4), median length of stay 23.5 days (IQR 14)). At baseline, 70.8% (92/130) of patients were well-nourished. Nutritional decline occurred in 23.8% (31/130), with 28.3% (26/92) experiencing HAM. Of the patients with moderate malnutrition on admission (n = 30), 16% (5/30) continued to decline to severe malnutrition. Improvement in nutritional status from moderate and severe malnutrition to well-nourished was 18.4% (7/38). Not being prescribed the correct nutrition care plan within the first week of admission was an independent predictor of in-hospital nutritional decline or remaining malnourished (OR 2.3 (95% CI 1.0-5.1), p = 0.039). In-hospital nutritional decline was significantly associated with other hospital-acquired complications (OR 3.07 (95% CI 1.1-8.9), p = 0.04) and longer length of stay (HR 0.63 (95% CI 0.4-0.9), p = 0.044). CONCLUSION This study found a high rate of nutritional decline in acute patients, highlighting the importance of repeated nutrition screening and assessments during hospital admission and proactive interdisciplinary nutrition care to treat or prevent further nutritional decline.

Abstract
PURPOSE The main objective of this review article is to examine the role that nutrition has on adult spinal deformity. The information presented in this review aims to provide spine surgeons with a broad overview of screening, assessment, and interventional strategies that may be used for presurgical nutritional optimization. METHODS A comprehensive literature review utilizing three biomedical databases was performed to generate articles of interest. Published articles related to nutrition, adult spinal deformity, spine surgery and orthopaedics were reviewed for the composition of this article. Nutrition may play a role in optimizing postoperative outcomes following adult spinal deformity surgeries, such as limiting delirium, length of stay, blood transfusion, and other medical complications. The use of screening tools, such as the PNI and CONUT score can assess preoperative nutritional status and may provide some utility in evaluating nutrition status in patients undergoing deformity surgery. Balancing both macronutrients and micronutrients, notably, carbohydrates, protein, albumin, and vitamin D can play a role in preoperative optimization. CONCLUSION Adult spinal deformity patients are at an increased risk for malnutrition. These patients should be assessed for nutrition status to prime them for surgery, minimize complications, and maximize their outcomes. However, further studies are needed to determine how nutrition ultimately affects adult spinal deformity patients in the postoperative period and to establish specific nutritional recommendations for this unique population.

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
OBJECTIVES The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate and compare the ability of eight nutrition-related tools to predict 1-year mortality in older patients with cancer. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS We studied older patients with cancer from the ELCAPA cohort and who had been referred for a geriatric assessment at one of 14 participating geriatric oncology clinics in the greater Paris area of France between 2007 and 2018. MEASUREMENTS The studied nutrition-related tools/markers were the body mass index (BMI), weight loss (WL) in the previous 6 months, the Mini Nutritional Assessment, the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), the Prognostic Nutritional Index, the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), the modified GPS, and the C-reactive protein/albumin ratio. RESULTS A total of 1361 patients (median age: 81; males: 51%; metastatic cancer: 49%) were included in the analysis. Most of the tools showed a progressively increase in the mortality risk as the nutrition-related risk category worsened (overall p-values <0.02 for all) after adjustment for age, outpatient status, functional status, severe comorbidities, cognition, mood, cancer treatment strategy, tumour site, and tumour metastasis. All the models were discriminant, with a C-index ranging from 0.748 (for the BMI) to 0.762 (for the GPS). The concordance probability estimate ranged from 0.764 (WL) to 0.773 (GNRI and GPS)). CONCLUSION After adjustment for relevant prognostic factors, all eight nutrition-related tools/markers were independently associated with 1-year mortality in older patients with cancer. Depending on the time or context of the GA, physicians do not always have the time or means to perform and assess all the tools/markers compared here. However, even when some information is missing, each nutritional tool/marker has prognostic value and can be used in the evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The nutritional status is closely related to the prognosis of liver transplant recipients, but few studies have reported the role of preoperative objective nutritional indices in predicting liver transplant outcomes. AIM To compare the predictive value of various preoperative objective nutritional indicators for determining 30-d mortality and complications following liver transplantation (LT). METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 162 recipients who underwent LT at our institution from December 2019 to June 2022. RESULTS This study identified several independent risk factors associated with 30-d mortality, including blood loss, the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), the nutritional risk index (NRI), and the control nutritional status. The 30-d mortality rate was 8.6%. Blood loss, the NRI, and the PNI were found to be independent risk factors for the occurrence of severe postoperative complications. The NRI achieved the highest prediction values for 30-d mortality [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.861, P < 0.001] and severe complications (AUC = 0.643, P = 0.011). Compared to those in the high NRI group, the low patients in the NRI group had lower preoperative body mass index and prealbumin and albumin levels, as well as higher alanine aminotransferase and total bilirubin levels, Model for End-stage Liver Disease scores and prothrombin time (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the group with a low NRI exhibited significantly greater incidences of intraabdominal bleeding, primary graft nonfunction, and mortality. CONCLUSION The NRI has good predictive value for 30-d mortality and severe complications following LT. The NRI could be an effective tool for transplant surgeons to evaluate perioperative nutritional risk and develop relevant nutritional therapy.

Abstract
Background The gestational diabetes causes complications for the mother and the baby. Methods It was a randomised controlled trial that was conducted in Public Health Center No 1 in Baghmalek, Khuzestan province, Iran. Seventy-six women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were recruited and randomly allocated into an intervention (n=38) and a control group (n=38). A mobile app was developed, and the content of the educational programme was designed according to the six dimensions of Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile (HPLP). Participants in the intervention group followed instructions about healthy lifestyle for 4 weeks, whereas the control group received only routine care. A demographic questionnaire, and the HPLP-II were used to gather the data.Health promoting lifestyle and blood sugar of participants were measured after 4 weeks. Results The total score of HPLP was 98.34±13.99 and 92.39±14.56 before the intervention in intervention and control groups, respectively, which was improved significantly in the intervention group compared with the control group after intervention (143.13±23.41 vs 100.39±16.69, p<0.0001). Also, the scores of stress management, responsibility, interpersonal relationship, spiritual growth, nutrition and physical activity were significantly improved in the intervention group. Fasting blood sugar and blood sugar 2 hours after meal significantly reduced in the intervention group compared with the control group (86.05±7.71 mg/dL vs 93.92±5.52 mg/dL) and (113.65±10.96 mg/dL vs 124.97±9.15 mg/dL), (p=0.001), respectively. Conclusions Our results showed that offering educational programmes based on mobile apps can improve healthy lifestyle and blood sugar in women with GDM.

Abstract
Background Malnutrition is a common problem in children postsurgery especially in low-middle-income countries. Health-based mobile apps play an important role for better nutritional status. Methods This is a two-arm randomised controlled trial, which was conducted at a tertiary care hospital, Rawalpindi. The study duration was 6 months from February 2021 to July 2021. The sample size with power of 80% and significance level of 5% was calculated to be 88. The intervention group was given a diet-related mobile app, and the usual care group was handed a pamphlet with diet instructions on discharge. Findings The mean weight of all participants was 15 (SD 5.7) kg at the time of discharge. However, at the end of the 8th week, the mean weight of the participants in the usual care group was 16.5 (SD 7.2) kg and that of the intervention group was 17.1 (SD 5) kg. The average calorie consumed by the usual care group was 972 (SD 252) kcal and 1000.75 (SD 210) kcal by the intervention group after 8 weeks of discharge. The average protein consumed by the usual care group was 34.3 (SD 12.5) g and 39 (SD 6.4) g by the intervention group after 8 weeks of discharge. Interpretation This study showed strength for the future of scalable modern technology for self-nutrition monitoring. There was a slight increase in the weight and nutritional intake of both groups. Trial registration number NCT04782635.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and its associated factors in community-dwelling older adults at risk of malnutrition based on the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI). METHODS The study participants were 345 adults aged >65 years who visited Geriatric Internal Medicine outpatient clinics. The study included people without acute illness for whom the risk of malnutrition could be assessed and appropriate measurements taken. At the baseline visit, participants' data and measurements were gathered. The primary data included sociodemographic details, anthropometric measurements, malnutrition screening tests, and functional assessments. RESULTS The participants' mean age was 76.21±5.59 years, and 57.1% were men (n=97). The prevalence rate of sarcopenia was 45.5%. Compared to individuals without sarcopenia, those with it were older; had lower MNA, PNI, and GNRI scores; and had lower muscle mass, muscle strength, and lower leg circumferences (p<0.001). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, we found that sarcopenia, advanced age, male sex, high risk of malnutrition, calf circumference, and a low PNI score were all significantly associated with a low GNRI score (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Sarcopenia was significantly associated with advanced age, male sex, and high risk of malnutrition. Patients' nutritional and functional status should always be assessed for therapeutic interventions and lifestyle changes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate dietetic resources and current nutrition screening, assessment, and intervention practices in pediatric oncology centers in Aotearoa, New Zealand. METHODS A national survey of the two specialist treatment centers and 14 shared care centers that provide care to childhood cancer patients in Aotearoa, New Zealand, was conducted. RESULTS The two specialist treatment centers in Aotearoa, New Zealand, were the only centers with a dedicated dietetic oncology full-time equivalent resource; this full-time equivalent resource was devoted to inpatient care. Only 5 shared care centers (44%) had access to general pediatric dietetic support. Dietetic cover for outpatients or day-stay patients and use of standardized nutrition screening and assessment tools were limited. Weight and height were commonly measured, but there was inconsistency in the frequency and recording of measurements. Nutrition interventions, including nutrition education, oral nutrition support, enteral nutrition, and intravenous nutrition, were available within all centers but criteria for initiating support varied. Common barriers to providing nutrition interventions included staff resourcing and ad hoc referral pathways. Awareness of the relevance and clinical benefit of nutrition in pediatric oncology was low. Suggestions to improve nutrition screening, assessment, and intervention within Aotearoa, New Zealand, included the creation of standardized screening and referral criteria. CONCLUSIONS Resource limitations and lack of nutritional screening and assessment prevent adequate nutritional intervention for children with cancer in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Akin to other high-income countries, there is a need to harmonize the management of nutritional challenges in children with cancer. This study provides a first step in establishing an evidence base to help support efforts to address this need in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Abstract
Physiological stress during injury and surgery negatively impacts protein balance and muscle mass maintenance. Adequate perioperative protein intake may attenuate muscle atrophy to maintain and facilitate functional recovery, particularly in older adults; yet, screening tools routinely used in clinical settings do not specifically assess protein intake when assessing nutrition risk. Although assessing malnutrition is a priority, suboptimal protein intake in non-malnourished patients should also be identified given protein's critical role in muscle health. This opinion paper highlights the potential for using a clinically appropriate protein-focused screener for rapid and efficient characterization of protein intake.

Abstract
Nutritional risk screening is fundamental to prevent undesirable outcomes in heart failure (HF). Current reviews of nutritional screening tools encompass both hospitalized and outpatient settings, which may not be suitable because of different clinical manifestations. We hypothesize that multidimensional tools would better identify prognosis of decompensated patients because the tools assess more than isolated aspects. This systematic review aims to explore the association of multidimensional nutritional risk screening tools and prognosis in patients hospitalized with decompensated HF. Five databases were searched for studies that assessed nutritional risk through multidimensional screening tools and its association with prognosis in adults hospitalized with decompensated HF. The 95% confidence interval and relative risk were computed using a random-effects model. Inverse variance method was used. Thirty-eight studies were included. Most studies demonstrated higher nutritional risk was significantly associated with worse prognosis. Quantitative analysis identified higher nutritional risk by using the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF), Controlling Nutritional Status, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, and Prognostic Nutritional Index to be associated with all-cause mortality. The MNA-SF demonstrated greater magnitude of association with all-cause mortality in older subjects (relative risk, 4.85; 95% confidence interval, 2.0-11.75). Higher nutritional risk was associated with poor prognosis and higher mortality in patients hospitalized with decompensated HF, especially when screened by MNA-SF. Tools were not directly compared. That might reinforce the importance of evaluating multiple aspects when screening hospitalized HF patients once symptoms associated with decompensation frequently mask the underlying nutritional status and risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The dietary intake of foods with fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) is known to adversely affect patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, the effects of FODMAP have been studied predominantly among Western populations. This study aimed to identify foods high in FODMAP content which form a part of the Korean adult diet and obtain basic data for the preparation of IBS guidelines. SUBJECTS/METHODS An online survey of 1,000 adults from the general population in the age group of 20 to 40 years was performed. Data from 787 participants (men, 386; women, 401) were analyzed. The general characteristics of the participants, health status, IBS diagnosis using the Rome III diagnostic criteria, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire findings, and food items causing symptoms were analyzed. RESULTS Overall, 169 participants (21.5%) had IBS. The contribution of the FODMAP nutrients in both IBS and healthy groups was as follows: fructan > lactose > excess fructose > sorbitol > mannitol > galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS). The fructan intake was 4.6 ± 2.2 g/day and 4.3 ± 2.5 g/day in the IBS and healthy groups (P = 0.014), respectively. In the IBS group, the ratio of the intake of fructan to the total FODMAP intake was 39.5%, 29.8%, and 5.8% through onions, garlic, and bananas, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Fructan was the FODMAP nutrient most consumed by Korean adults. Therefore, given the difference in the dietary habits of each country's population, the dietary guidelines for IBS should be country specific.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to examine the interaction of Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on change in obesity measures. Methods A total of 4480 participants from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study were selected. DII was calculated using a Food Frequency Questionnaire. The FTO SNPs rs8050136, rs14211085 and rs1121980 were selected. Changes in obesity measures were calculated. Results In individuals with risk allele of FTO SNP rs8050136, greater adherence to DII was associated with increased odds of higher waist circumference (WC) (OR, Q1-Q4: 1, 0.87, 0.88, 0.94; P trend=0.01), but deceased odds of waist to hip ratio (WHR) (OR, Q1-Q4: 1, 0.85, 0.76, 0.70; P trend=0.01). Moreover, higher score of DII was significantly related to elevated odds of having high Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) in individuals with wild-type genotype of FTO SNPs. For changes in WC, a significant interaction was identified between FTO rs1421085 and DII; the second quartile of DII was associated with increased odds of having a high WC in carriers of wild variant (TT genotype) of rs1421085 (OR 1.43; 95% CI 1.04 to 1.97), but not in individuals with risk allele of this SNP (TC CC). Although there are significant relationships between SNPs or genetic risk score and change in WHR or VAI, but there is no significant interaction between FTO SNPs and DII regarding change in body mass index, WHR and VAI. Conclusions There may be an interactive effect between DII and the FTO rs1421085 genotypes on change in WC.

Abstract
Introduction The upsurge of overweight/obesity (OW/OB) among children and adolescents is as a result of complex interactions between lifestyle behaviours and socioeconomic factors. The objective of this study was to determine socioeconomic and sociodemographic factors, dietary intake and eating behaviours of children and adolescents in Ethiopia and their association with OW/OB. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 632 children and adolescents-parent dyads. To identify overweight/obese among children and adolescents, body mass index-for-age Z-scores by sex and age relative to WHO 2007 reference was calculated using WHO AnthroPlus software. A multivariable logistic regression model fitted to determine the adjusted associations between the outcome and the predictors selected from the bivariate analyses. Data analysis was carried out using STATA V.15.0. Results The proportion of participants with low, medium and high dietary diversity scores was 7.28%, 22.5%, and 70.2%, respectively. Participants aged 13-18 years were less likely to be overweight or obese [adjusted OR (aOR) = 0.40; 95%CI: 0.26, 0.64] to those aged 5-12 years. Children in a family with the richest or highest socioeconomic status (SES) were more likely to be overweight or obese than those in families with the poorest or lowest status. Children and adolescents who consumed soft drinks (sugar-sweetened beverages) four or more times per week [aOR = 3.24; 95%CI: 1.13, 7.95] were more likely to be overweight or obese to those who did not consume soft drinks. Conclusions The study identified factors such as younger age (<12 years), high SES and consumption of soft drinks as key contributors to overweight and obesity among children and adolescents. Therefore, interventions targeting behavioural prevention and reduction of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents should be cognizant of the above factors during implementation in order to achieve desired outcomes, further guided by exploratory qualitative studies to identify public perceptions and attitudes affecting dietary practices.

Abstract
Objective To systematically map nutrition content in medical curricula across all 23 medical schools in Australia and New Zealand accredited by the Australian Medical Council (AMC). Methods A cross-sectional content analysis was conducted. Learning outcomes for 20 AMC-accredited medical curricula were extracted from online repositories and directly from universities in February to April 2021. Nutrition relevant learning outcomes or equivalent learning objectives/graduate attributes were identified. Nutrition learning outcomes were analysed according to Bloom's revised taxonomy to determine whether outcomes met cognitive, psychomotor or affective domains and at what level. Results Of the total 23 AMC-accredited medical curricula, 20 medical schools had learning outcomes able to be sourced for analysis. A total of 186 nutrition learning outcomes were identified within 11 medical curricula. One medical school curriculum comprised 129 of 186 (69.4%) nutrition learning outcomes. The majority of outcomes (181, 97.3%) were in the cognitive domain of Bloom's revised taxonomy, predominantly at level 3 'applying' (90, 49.7%). The psychomotor domain contained five nutrition learning outcomes (5, 2.7%), while the affective domain contained none. New Zealand medical curricula (153, 82.3%) contained 4.6-fold more nutrition learning outcomes than Australian curricula (33, 17.7%). When comparing clinical and preclinical years across curricula, the proportion of learning outcomes in the psychomotor domain was 3.7-fold higher in clinical years (4.08%) versus preclinical years (1.15%). Conclusion There is wide variation across medical curricula regarding the number of nutrition learning outcomes. This may lead to varying competency of medical graduates to provide nutrition care in Australia and New Zealand.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition and muscle wasting are common in ICU patients and predict adverse patient-centered outcomes. The Italian Society of Anesthesia Analgesia Resuscitation and Intensive Care (SIAARTI) conducted a nationwide survey to identify the nutritional practices in the Italian ICUs and to plan future, training interventions to improve the national clinical practice. METHODS Nationwide online survey, involving Italian ICUs, developed by experts affiliated with SIAARTI. Invitations to participate were distributed through emails and social networks. Data were collected over a period of three months (October 1 to December 31, 2022) during 2022. RESULTS One hundred full responses from participating ICUs were collected. The number of beds is < 10 in most ICUs and > 20 in 11 ICUs. Most ICUs (87%) are mixed, cardiac (5%), neurosurgical (4%), or pediatric ICUs (1%). Although the nutritional program is widely prescribed based on the patients' general evaluation, 52 ICUs (52%) do not perform nutritional risk evaluation at admission in case of > 24-h stay. Daily caloric intake is mainly based on the 25 kcal/kg equation; otherwise, the Harris-Benedict formula is mostly used, whereas indirect calorimetry is less used. Most clinicians apply a personalized nutritional approach to organ failure. Most ICUs have a nutritional management protocol, and enteral nutrition (EN) is frequently started within 2 days from admission, while supplemental parenteral nutrition is used when EN is insufficient by most clinicians. The EN administered seems to correspond to that prescribed, but it is stopped if the gastric residual gastric is > 300-500 ml in most ICUs. CONCLUSION Prescription, route, and mode of administration of nutritional support seem to be in line with international recommendations, while suggestions on the tools for assessing the nutritional risk and monitoring efficacy and complications seem far less followed. Future national clinical studies are necessary to investigate the optimal nutritional and metabolic management of critically ill patients and the correspondence with the results of this survey on actual practices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To verify the association between nutritional risk on admission and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 in hospitalized children and adolescents. METHODS Multicenter cohort study was conducted in two cities in the northeastern region of Brazil, with children under 18 years of age laboratory diagnosed with COVID-19. Sociodemographic data and nutritional risk screening by STRONGKids (low, medium and high risk) were collected remotely and in hospital records, respectively. The outcomes assessed were the need for ICU admission, length of stay (< 10 days or ≥ 10 days), critical cases, and death. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate the effects of high nutritional risk on COVID-19 clinical outcomes. RESULTS 103 individuals were evaluated, of these 35 (34.0%) had low risk, 44 (42.7%) medium risk, and 24 (23.3%) had high risk of malnutrition. In multivariate analysis, ICU bed admission (OR: 4.57; 95%CI, 1.39-4.97; p = 0.01), hospitalization longer than or equal to ten days (OR: 3.96; 95%CI, 1.22-2.83; p = 0.02) and critical cases (OR: 4.35; 95%CI, 1.08-7.55; p = 0.04) were associated with high nutritional risk. Death was not associated with high nutritional risk. CONCLUSIONS Children and adolescents with high nutritional risk by STRONGkids at hospital admission were more likely to be admitted to the ICU, have hospitalization longer than or equal to ten days, and have critical cases when infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the impact of preoperative body composition in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) undergoing surgical treatment. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective study of 52 patients with RCC undergoing total or partial nephrectomy. Body composition assessment was performed using the body mass index, together with computed tomography analysis at the level of the third lumbar vertebra to measure the area of visceral adipose tissue, as well as the area and density of skeletal muscle mass. Results Malnutrition, obesity and inadequate skeletal muscle gauge (SMG) were associated with higher hospital length of stay (p = 0.028, p = 0.02 and p = 0.012, respectively). Although the rates of postoperative symptoms and readmissions were low, survival was better among the patients with an adequate SMG than among those with an inadequate SMG (p = 0.003). Conclusion Among patients with RCC undergoing surgical treatment, preoperative body composition does not seem to be associated with the rates of perioperative complications, although an inadequate SMG seems to be associated with worse overall survival.

Abstract
Patients with SARS-CoV generally require noninvasive treatments including continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and appropriate nutritional therapy. Our hypothesis was that a higher body mass index (BMI) would result in greater respiratory difficulties during CPAP treatment and lead to a reduction in energy and protein intake. The study was conducted prospectively and retrospectively in a Brazilian public hospital. The sample comprised all patients (n = 70) hospitalized in COVID-19 wards and using the Elmo System (ELMO) helmet. To ensure proper nutritional support, the hospital established a standard ELMO diet and questionnaire for estimating dietary adherence. The median length of stay was 11 days (interquartile range, 9-20), and 84.3% of the patients received hospital discharge. The median duration of helmet use was 1.5 days (interquartile range, 1-4). From mid-upper arm circumference adequacy measurements, 35 patients (50%) were classified as being overweight or living with obesity and 36 adult patients (66.7%) were considered living with obesity based on their BMI. The prevalence of overweight elderly patients was 81.3%. The median energy and protein intake adequacy percentages were 65% and 72.5%, respectively. Patients with higher BMIs exhibited lower oxygen flows while wearing the ELMO helmet. Younger age and lower energy and protein intake characterized the obesity group. A correlation between oxygen therapy and food intake in COVID-19 patients undergoing CPAP treatment was observed. Patients with higher BMIs and/or mid-upper arm circumference adequacies were more susceptible to energy and protein intake declines, and patients with obesity presented the lowest intake values.

Abstract
Background The care group approach (CGA) is a community-based nutrition behaviour change strategy centred on 'peer-to-peer learning' through women support groups. Objective To assess the impact of the CGA on the adoption of appropriate infant and young child feeding (IYCF), dietary diversity and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) practices, and associated nutrition-related outcomes. Methods A retrospective cohort study used a mixed-method approach in selected rural districts in Zimbabwe in June 2022. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on IYCF, diet quality, WASH and child morbidity. Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between exposure and outcome. Significance was at p<0.05. Results A total of 127 exposed and 234 controls were enrolled. There was no significant difference between exposed and controls on the prevalence of; diarrhoea (p=0.659), cough (p=0.191) and fever (p=0.916). No significant difference was observed in the proportion ever breastfed (p=0.609), Children with Adequate Dietary Diversity Score (p=0.606) across the two groups. However, the proportion of families with adequate Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS) (p=0.005) and Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) (p=0.009) were significantly higher in exposed than controls. Knowledge on all promoted behaviours was significantly higher in the exposed than in controls with the exception of exclusive breast feeding. While the practices were significantly higher in exposed compared with controls for: 'Appropriate complementary feeding for children aged 6-24 months' (p=0.001), 'good nutrition for women of reproductive age' (p=0.001), 'production and consumption of diverse nutritious food' (p=0.001) and 'production and consumption of biofortified crops' (p=0.001). Conclusions The results showed that CGA potential to increase knowledge and achieve nutrition and health-related behaviour change in low-income settings if integrated into existing community programmes. Interestingly, HDDS and MDD-W were significantly higher in exposed than controls. However, more research is required to obtain conclusive results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The Remote Malnutrition Application (R-MAPP) was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide support for health care professionals (HCPs) working in the community to complete remote nutritional assessments and provide practical guidance for nutritional care. R-MAPP was adapted into Pediatric Remote Malnutrition Application (Pedi-R-MAPP) using a modified Delphi consensus, with the goal of providing a structured approach to completing a nutrition focused assessment as part of a technology enabled care service (TECS) consultation. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a digital version of Pedi-R-MAPP using the IDEAS framework (Integrate, Design, Assess and Share). METHODS A ten-step process was completed using the IDEAS framework. This involved the four concept processes; Stage-1, Integrate (Step 1-3) identify the problem, specify the goal, and use an evidence-based approach. Stage-2, (Step 4-7) design iteratively and rapidly with user feedback. Stage 3, (Step 8-9) Assess rigorously, and Stage 4 (Step 9-10) publish and launch of the tool. RESULTS Stage 1:Evidence-based development, Pedi-R-MAPP was developed using Delphi consensus methodology. Stage 2:Iteration & design, HCPs (n = 22) from UK, Europe, South Africa, and North America were involved four workshops to further develop a paper prototype of the tool and complete small-scale testing of a beta version of the tool which resulted in eight iterations. Stage 3:Assess rigorously, Small scale retrospective testing of the tool on children with congenital heart disease (n = 80) was completed by a single researcher, with iterative changes made to improve agreement with summary advice. Large scale testing amongst (n = 745) children in different settings was completed by specialist paediatric dietitians (n = 15) advice who recorded agreement with the summary advice compared with their own clinical assessment. Paediatric dietitians were in overall agreement with the summary advice in the tool 86% (n = 640), compared to their own clinical practice. The main reasons for disagreement were i) frequency of planned review 57.1% (n = 60/105), ii) need for ongoing dietetic review due to chronic condition 20.0% (n = 21/105), iii) disagreement with recommendation for discharge 16.2% (n = 17/105) and iv) concerns with faltering growth and/or need for condition specific growth charts 6.7% (7/105). Iterative changes were made to the algorithm, leading to an improvement in agreement of the summary advice on re-evaluation to 98% (p=<0.0001). CONCLUSION A digital version of the Pedi-R-MAPP nutrition awareness tool was developed using the IDEAS framework. The summary advice provided by the tool achieved a high level of agreement when compared to paediatric dietetic assessment, by providing a structured approach to completing a remote nutrition focused assessment, along with identifying the frequency of follow-up or an in-person assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is associated with a high risk of mortality in adults with ischemic stroke (IS). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between malnutrition and the risk of stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) as only a few studies examined the relationship between malnutrition and the risk of SAP in IS. METHODS Patients were included from emergency departments of five tertiary hospitals in the REtrospective Multicenter study for Ischemic Stroke Evaluation (REMISE) study from January 2020 to December 2020. Malnutrition was defined according to the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) systems. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association between malnutrition and risk of SAP. RESULTS We enrolled 915 patients with IS, 193 (14.75%), 495 (54.1%), and 148 (16.2%) of whom were malnourished according to the PNI, CONUT, and GNRI scores, respectively. SAP occurred in 294 (32.1%) patients. After adjusting for confounding influencing factors in the logistic regression analysis, malnutrition (moderate and severe risk vs. absent malnutrition) was independently associated with an increased risk of SAP based on the PNI (odds ratio [OR], 5.038; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.435-10.421, P < 0.001), CONUT (OR, 6.941; 95% CI 3.034-15.878, P < 0.001), and GNRI (OR, 2.007; 95% CI 1.186-3.119, P = 0.005) scores. Furthermore, adding malnutrition assessment indices to the A2DS2 score significantly improved the ability to predict SAP by analysis of receiver operating characteristic curves and net reclassification improvement. CONCLUSION Malnutrition was notably prevalent in patients with IS and independently associated with an increased risk of SAP. Further studies are required to identify the effect of interventions on malnutrition to reduce the risk of SAP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES In Korea, studies of diet in elementary school children are hindered by the need for a comprehensive dietary assessment tool. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for Korean elementary school children. SUBJECTS/METHODS The 24-h recall data for 1,624 subjects aged 6-11 yrs from the seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used to extract the items included in the questionnaire. The FFQ items were developed by selecting major dishes based on the results of nutritional contribution and between-person variability for energy and 14 nutrients (carbohydrate, protein, fat, crude fiber, calcium, phosphorous, iron, sodium, potassium, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamin C). We selected the major dishes with over 90% of the total contribution to each nutrient and with over 90% of the accumulated R2 for each nutrient. Among the 452 dishes, we selected 248 dishes contributing more than 1% of the total consumption. RESULTS Finally, the FFQ included 107 items combined from 248 dishes based on nutrient profile and recipe. The FFQ items accounted for an average of 88.6% of the energy, 14 nutrient intakes, and 91.4% of the between-person variability. Quantities of dietary intake were assessed by 9 categories of frequency and 3 categories of portion size. Percentages of coverage for energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, and calcium were 90.2%, 87.8%, 89.9%, 90.8%, and 88.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We developed a dish-based, semi-quantitative FFQ comprising 107 items for Korean elementary school children aged 6 to 11. Further studies are needed to evaluate the reproducibility and validity of this FFQ for elementary school children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association (AHA) chose the REAP-S dietary screener in 2020 as one of three US dietary screeners recommended for integrating dietary assessment into clinical care. The REAP-S v.2 is an updated version that is aligned with the 2020-2025 US Dietary Guidelines and is easily incorporated into electronic medical records and taught to medical students. METHODS The University of New England, Institutional Review Board, approved the study protocol. We evaluated the reliability and validity of the REAP-S v.2 scale by having first-year medical students (n = 167) complete both the REAP-S v.2 and a three-day food record and then analyzing their data with the following statistical techniques: Internal consistency was measured using Cronbach's alpha. Construct validity was assessed with exploratory factor analysis. Criterion validity was evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) that explored the associations between REAP-S v.2 scale item responses and selected nutrient estimates from the food record analyses. The hierarchical cluster analysis classified healthy and unhealthy diet grouping under each subscale. Further using these groupings, cut points for "good" and "bad" diets for each of the three main REAP-S v.2 subscales (Food Sufficiency/Food Insufficiency; Healthy Eating Pattern and Low Nutrient Density Foods) were calculated using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis. Students analyzed their three-day food intake records using an online USDA application called SuperTracker. RESULTS The Cronbach's alpha measuring internal consistency was acceptable for the overall scale at 0.71. The exploratory factor analysis extracted three factors that roughly paralleled the three main subscales, suggesting construct validity. Most selected food record-derived nutrient values were significantly associated with scale items confirming criterion validity. The score cut points suggest that dietary counseling might be needed at ≤ 8, ≤ 10, and ≤ 16 for the above subscales. CONCLUSION The REAP-S v.2 is intended for clinicians to use as a brief dietary screener with their patients. Tested in a population of first-year medical students, the REAP-S v.2 brief dietary screener showed acceptable internal consistency, criterion, and construct validity. It is easily scored and incorporated into the electronic medical record.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It is reported weight gain in children due to the confinement measures during the Covid-19 pandemic. We aimed to describe the effect of these measures on the nutritional status of former Neonatal Intensive Care Unit children. METHODS Cross-sectional study, including former Neonatal Intensive Care Unit children. The outcome was the Body mass index (BMI). RESULTS We enrolled 126 children (74.6 % preterm; 31 % small-for-gestational-age). Weight excess was greater in the youngest group (≤5 years: 33.8 %; >5 years: 15.2 %). Prematurity was associated with weight excess in both groups (≤5 years: p value 0.006; >5 years: p value 0.046; Pearson test). Mealtime changes, lack of physical activity, socioeconomic factors and the perinatal morbidities significantly influenced the mean BMI. Birth length Z score less than -1.28 was negatively associated with BMI, while gestational age at birth presented a positive association with BMI (linear regression model). CONCLUSIONS The BMI increase due to the confinement measures associated with the gestational age at birth and in those born with intrauterine growth restriction is a matter of concern, as it might indicate a risk for future obesity.

Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease resulting from multifactorial causes mainly related to lifestyle (sedentary lifestyle, inadequate eating habits) and to other conditions such as genetic, hereditary, psychological, cultural, and ethnic factors. The weight loss process is slow and complex, and involves lifestyle changes with an emphasis on nutritional therapy, physical activity practice, psychological interventions, and pharmacological or surgical treatment. Because the management of obesity is a long-term process, it is essential that the nutritional treatment contributes to the maintenance of the individual's global health. The main diet-related causes associated with excess weight are the high consumption of ultraprocessed foods, which are high in fats, sugars, and have high energy density; increased portion sizes; and low intake of fruits, vegetables, and grains. In addition, some situations negatively interfere with the weight loss process, such as fad diets that involve the belief in superfoods, the use of teas and phytotherapics, or even the avoidance of certain food groups, as has currently been the case for foods that are sources of carbohydrates. Individuals with obesity are often exposed to fad diets and, on a recurring basis, adhere to proposals with promises of quick solutions, which are not supported by the scientific literature. The adoption of a dietary pattern combining foods such as grains, lean meats, low-fat dairy, fruits, and vegetables, associated with an energy deficit, is the nutritional treatment recommended by the main international guidelines. Moreover, an emphasis on behavioral aspects including motivational interviewing and the encouragement for the individual to develop skills will contribute to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Therefore, this Position Statement was prepared based on the analysis of the main randomized controlled studies and meta-analyses that tested different nutrition interventions for weight loss. Topics in the frontier of knowledge such as gut microbiota, inflammation, and nutritional genomics, as well as the processes involved in weight regain, were included in this document. This Position Statement was prepared by the Nutrition Department of the Brazilian Association for the Study of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome (ABESO), with the collaboration of dietitians from research and clinical fields with an emphasis on strategies for weight loss.

Abstract
Introduction When considering health-related impacts of foods, nutrient profile and (ultra)processing are two complementary dimensions. The Nutri-Score informs on the nutrient profile dimension. Recently, mounting evidence linked ultraprocessed food consumption to various adverse health outcomes, independently of their nutrient profile. To inform consumers about each of these health-related dimensions of food, we tested, in a randomised controlled trial, if a graphically modified version 'Nutri-Score V.2.0', including a black 'ultraprocessed' banner, would improve the capacity of consumers to rank products according to their nutrient profile and to detect those ultra-processed, compared with a no-label situation. Methods 21 159 participants included in the NutriNet-Santé web-cohort were randomly assigned to a control arm (no front-of-pack label) or an experimental arm (Nutri-Score 2.0) and were presented an online questionnaire with three sets of food products (cookies, breakfast cereals and ready-to-eat meals) to rank according to nutrient profile and to identify ultraprocessed foods. The primary outcome was objective understanding of nutrient profile and ultraprocessing, represented by a score of correct answers. Secondary outcomes were purchasing intentions and the healthiest-perceived product. Multinomial logistic regressions were performed. Results The Nutri-Score V.2.0 increased the objective understanding of both the nutrient profile dimension (OR highest vs lowest score category=29.0 (23.4-35.9), p<0.001) and the ultraprocessing dimension (OR=174.3 (151.4-200.5), p<0.001). Trends were similar for cookies, breakfast cereals and ready-to-eat meals. The Nutri-Score V.2.0 had a positive effect on purchasing intentions and on the products perceived as the healthiest. Conclusion This randomised controlled trial demonstrates the interest of a front-of-pack label combining the Nutri-Score (informing on the nutrient profile dimension) with an additional graphic mention, indicating when the food is ultraprocessed, compared with a no-label situation. Our results show that a combined label enabled participants to independently understand these two complementary dimensions of foods. Trial registration number NCT05610930.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the relative validity of the nine-item Diet Risk Score (DRS) among Chinese American adults using Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 scores. We provide insights into the application of the Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour Dietary Assessment Tool (ASA24) for this population, and report on lessons learned from carrying out participant recruitment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Thirty-three Chinese American adults (mean age=40; 36% male) were recruited from the community and through ResearchMatch. Participants completed the DRS and two 24-hour food records, which were entered into the ASA 24-Hour Dietary Assessment Tool (ASA24) by community health workers (CHWs). HEI-2015 scores were calculated from each food record and an average score was obtained for each participant. One-way analysis of variance and Spearman correlations were used to compare total and component scores between the DRS and HEI-2015. Results Mean HEI-2015 score was 56.7/100 (SD 10.6) and mean DRS score was 11.8/27 (SD 4.7), with higher scores reflecting better and worse diets, respectively. HEI-2015 and DRS scores were inversely correlated (r=-0.43, p<0.05). The strongest correlations were between HEI-2015 Total Vegetables and DRS Vegetables (r=-0.5, p<0.01), HEI-2015 Total Vegetables and Green Vegetables (r=-0.43, p=0.01) and HEI-2015 Seafood/Plant Protein and DRS Fish (r=-0.47, p<0.01). The inability to advertise and recruit for the study in person at community centres due to pandemic restrictions impeded the recruitment of less-acculturated individuals. A lack of cultural food items in the ASA24 database made it difficult to record dietary intake as reported by participants. Conclusion The DRS can be a valuable tool for physicians to identify and reach Chinese Americans at risk of cardiometabolic disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Nutritional risk in older health care service users is a well-known challenge. Nutritional risk screening and individualised nutrition plans are common strategies for preventing and treating malnutrition. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether nutritional risk is associated with an increased risk of death and whether a nutrition plan to those at nutritional risk could reduce this potential risk of death in community health care service users over 65 years of age. METHODS We conducted a register-based, prospective cohort study on older health care service users with chronic diseases. The study included persons ≥65 years of age receiving health care services from all municipalities in Norway from 2017 to 2018 (n = 45,656). Data on diagnoses, nutritional risk, nutrition plan and death were obtained from the Norwegian Registry for Primary Health Care (NRPHC) and the Norwegian Patient Registry (NPR). We used Cox regression models to estimate the associations of nutritional risk and use of a nutrition plan with the risk of death within three and six months. Analyses were performed within the following diagnostic strata: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dementia, type 2 diabetes, stroke, osteoporosis and heart failure. The analyses were adjusted for age, gender, living situation and comorbidity. RESULTS Of the 45,656 health care service users, 27,160 (60%) were at nutritional risk, and 4437 (10%) and 7262 (16%) died within three and six months, respectively. Among those at nutritional risk, 82% received a nutrition plan. Health care service users at nutritional risk had an increased risk of death compared to health care service users not at nutritional risk (13% vs 5% and 20% vs 10% at three and six months). Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for death within six months were 2.26 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.95, 2.61) for health care service users with COPD, 2.15 (1.93, 2.41) for those with heart failure, 2.37 (1.99, 2.84) for those with osteoporosis, 2.07 (1.80, 2.38) for those with stroke, 2.65 (2.30, 3.06) for those with type 2 diabetes and 1.94 (1.74, 2.16) for those with dementia. The adjusted HRs were larger for death within three months than death within six months for all diagnoses. Nutrition plans were not associated with the risk of death for health care service users at nutritional risk with COPD, dementia or stroke. For health care service users at nutritional risk with type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis or heart failure, nutrition plans were associated with an increased risk of death within both three and six months (adjusted HR 1.56 (95% CI: 1.10, 2.21) and 1.45 (1.11, 1.88) for type 2 diabetes; 2.20 (1.38, 3.51) and 1.71 (1.25, 2.36) for osteoporosis and 1.37 (1.05, 1.78) and 1.39 (1.13, 1.72) for heart failure). CONCLUSIONS Nutritional risk was associated with the risk of earlier death in older health care service users with common chronic diseases in the community. Nutrition plans were associated with a higher risk of death in some groups in our study. This may be because we could not control sufficiently for disease severity, the indication for providing a nutrition plan or the degree of implementation of nutrition plans in community health care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Korea is expected to become a super-aged society in 2026, and improving nutritional status, which is directly related to health problems, is therefore important for increasing healthy life expectancy. Frailty is the most complex phenotype of aging, and leads to adverse health outcomes, disability, poor quality of life, hospitalization, and mortality. Malnutrition is a major risk factor for frailty syndrome. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of pre-frailty or frailty in the second wave (T2, 2018-2019) according to general characteristics and nutritional status in the first wave (T1, 2016-2017); and examine the longitudinal association of nutritional status in T1 and the incidence of pre-frailty or frailty in T2 among older adults living in a community. METHODS A secondary data analysis was performed using the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study (KFACS). Participants comprised 1125 community-dwelling older Korean adults aged 70-84 years (mean age: 75.03 ± 3.56 years; 53.8% males). Frailty was assessed using the Fried frailty index, and nutritional status was assessed using the Korean version of the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form and blood nutritional biomarkers. Binary logistic regression was used to identify longitudinal associations between the nutritional status at T1 and pre-frailty or frailty at T2. RESULTS Over the two-year follow-up period, 32.9% and 1.7% of the participants became pre-frail and frail, respectively. After the potential confounders were adjusted (sociodemographic, health behaviors, and health status characteristics), pre-frailty or frailty had a significant longitudinal association with severe anorexia (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 4.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-16.54), moderate anorexia (AOR, 2.31; 95% CI, 1.46-3.64), psychological stress or acute disease (AOR, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.26-5.39), and body mass index (BMI) less than 19 (AOR, 4.11; 95% CI, 1.20-14.04). CONCLUSIONS Anorexia, psychological stress, acute disease, and low BMI are the most significant longitudinal risk factors for pre-frailty or frailty in older adults. As nutritional risk factors may be preventable or modifiable, it is important to develop interventions targeting the same. Community-based health professionals in health-related fields should recognize and manage these indicators appropriately to prevent frailty among older adults living in the community.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Liver cirrhosis is a chronic condition caused by different conditions including viral infection, alcoholism, and autoimmune disorders. Malnutrition is one of the complications of liver cirrhosis that is associated with poor outcomes. This study aimed to determine the association of malnutrition with mortality in liver cirrhosis patients. METHODS This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on liver cirrhosis patients who were referred to two referral centers for liver disease in Tehran, Iran. Patients' information including demographics (age, gender, etiology of cirrhosis, alcohol and smoking history) in addition to triceps skinfold (TSF), mid-arm circumference (MAC), Child-Pugh score and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score were recorded in all patients. Patients were classified into A, B, and C categories based on the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) questionnaire. RESULTS Among 121 participants (68.6%) were males and the mean age was 54.78. Viral infections were the most common etiology and 65 patients (56.2%) were in the classification A of Child-Pugh Score. TSF (P = 0.001) and MAC (P = 0.003) were significantly lower in SGA class C. The survival rate in SGA class C was significantly lower than other groups (P < 0.001; log-rank test). The risk of mortality in patients with SGA class A and B was 85% (HR value: 0.15; 95% CI: 0.02-0.87; P = 0.03) and 76% (HR value: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.06-0.83; P = 0.02) lower than those with SGA class C. CONCLUSION Anthropometric and SGA measure are two easy and accessible methods for assessing malnutrition and mortality in liver cirrhosis patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to systematically examine trends in dietary energy, macronutrient, and food consumption in different geographic regions. METHODS We searched Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and organizations for studies and reports using individual-level dietary assessments from 1950 to 2019 (PROSPERO CRD42022302843) and quantified changes using multivariable linear mixed-effects models. RESULTS We identified 109 articles and reports from 47 countries, including Europe and Australasia (47% of studies), Asia (30%), Latin America (13%), the Middle East (6%), and North America (4%). In Southeast and East Asia, carbohydrate intake decreased, whereas fat consumption increased; the opposite pattern occurred in North America; and fat decreased while carbohydrate intake remained stable in Europe and Australasia. Consumption of carbohydrate and fat were stable in South Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, but data were limited in these regions. A greater increase in national gross domestic product over time was associated with decreased carbohydrate and increased fat and protein intake. Dietary saturated fatty acid intake decreased in Northern and Eastern Europe and was stable in other regions. Changes in food varied by region; East and Southeast Asia increased meat, fish, dairy, egg, fruit, and vegetable consumption and decreased intake of grains, roots and tubers, legumes, whereas North America decreased dairy and red meat but increased eggs, nuts, poultry, and vegetable oil intake. Intakes of fruits, nuts, legumes, and roots and tubers were below recommendations in most regions. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate regional variations in dietary trends and identify countries that would benefit from nutritional policies aimed at decreasing lower-quality carbohydrate foods and increasing consumption of fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and dairy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia. AIMS To evaluate the nutritional status of patients with IBD and determine the threshold values of different parameters of nutritional assessment to identify malnutrition. METHODS This was a single-centre cross-sectional analysis of adult patients with IBD [ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD)] who underwent anthropometry [body mass index (BMI), mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) and triceps-fold thickness (TSF)], body composition analysis and assessment for sarcopenia [hand-grip strength and skeletal muscle index (SMI) at L3 vertebral level)]. Age- and gender-matched healthy adults served as controls. Malnutrition was defined according to the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) criteria. RESULTS A total of 406 patients [336 (82.76%) UC and 70 (17.24%) CD; mean age 40.56 ± 13.67 years; 215 (52.95%) males] with IBD and 100 healthy controls (mean age 38.69 ± 10.90 years; 56 (56%) males) were enrolled. The mean BMI, MUAC, TSF thickness, fat and lean mass, hand-grip strength, and SMI at L3 vertebral level were lower in patients with IBD compared to controls. The prevalence of malnutrition was similar in UC and CD [24.40% (n = 82) and 28.57% (n = 20), respectively (p = 0.46)]. Thresholds for fat mass in females (15.8 kg) and visceral fat index in males (0.26) were both sensitive and specific to detect malnutrition. The cutoff values of MUAC and TSF thickness to identify malnutrition were 23.25 cm and 25.25 cm, and 16.50 mm and 8.50 mm, in females and males, respectively. CONCLUSION Malnutrition and sarcopenia were common in patients with IBD, with the prevalence being similar in patients with both UC and CD.

Abstract
Aim This study aimed to assess the status of iron stores and the frequency of iron deficiency anemia in Celiac disease (CD) patients referred to the Golestan Research Center of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Gorgan, Iran. Background Studies have shown that nutritional deficiencies affect 20-38% of patients with CD due to malabsorption and as a result of a gluten-free diet. Methods In this study, 59 out of 100 CD patients were assessed. The presence and severity of anemia were determined using the concentration of serum hemoglobin according to WHO criteria. The status of body iron stores was also assessed based on serum ferritin levels. Results Mean and SD of age, duration of disease, serum hemoglobin, ferritin, TIBC, and serum iron were 39.9±11.9 years, 69.8±45.4 months, 12.6±1.99 g/dl, 54.3±55.3 mg/dL, 365.9±49.1 μg/dL, and 84.1±37.1 μg/dL, respectively. 68.42% had no anemia, 19.3% had mild anemia, 8.77% had moderate anemia, and 3.51% had severe anemia. 25.42% of patients had depleted iron stores, 71.19% had normal iron stores, and 3.39% were exposed to iron overload. There was a statistically significant correlation between serum hemoglobin and the duration of disease diagnosis (P=0.037, r=0.302). Conclusion In this study, 31.58% of CD patients on a gluten-free diet had some degree of anemia. In addition, 25.42% of patients had depleted iron stores. These results suggest that CD patients should be evaluated for iron status, even with a gluten-free diet.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Digestive disorders are one of the most common comorbidities among children with cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study is to examine the nutritional status of patients with CP, the prevalence of dysphagia by degree of motor impairment, and the impact of digestive disorders on quality of life. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional, open-label study of out-patients with CP from a tertiary hospital in the Region of Madrid using a structured interview, classifying dysphagia using the Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System (EDACS). We gathered demographical and anthropometric data, and analysed the correlation between severity of dysphagia and functional status as measured with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). RESULTS Our sample included 44 patients (65.9% boys), with a mean (standard deviation) age of 9.34 (5) years and a mean BMI of 18.5 (4.9). Forty-three percent presented safety and efficiency limitations (EDACS level > II). Safety and efficiency limitations were associated with more extensive motor involvement (60% had tetraparesis), more varied clinical manifestations (87% had mixed forms) and poorer functional capacity (100% on GMFCS V). The impact on nutritional status increased with higher EDACS and GMFCS scores. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study into the usefulness of the EDACS scale in a representative sample of Spanish children and adolescents with CP. Our findings underscore the importance of screening for dysphagia in these patients, regardless of the level of motor impairment, and the need for early treatment to prevent the potential consequences: malnutrition (impaired growth, micronutrient deficiencies, osteopaenia, etc.), microaspiration, or recurrent infections that may worsen patients' neurological status.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score on perioperative morbidity and oncological outcomes of bladder cancer (BC) patients treated with radical cystectomy (RC). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed a multi-institutional cohort of 347 patients treated with RC for clinical-localized BC between 2005 and 2019. The CONUT-score was defined as an algorithm including serum albumin, total lymphocyte count, and cholesterol. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the ability of the CONUT-score to predict any-grade complications, major complications and 30 days readmission. Multivariable Cox' regression models were performed to evaluate the prognostic effect of the CONUT-score on recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS). RESULTS A cut-off value to discriminate between low and high CONUT-score was determined by calculating the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The area under the curve was 0.72 hence high CONUT-score was defined as ≥3 points. Overall, 112 (32.3%) patients had a high CONUT. At multivariable logistic regression analyses, high CONUT was associated with any-grade complications (OR 3.58, P = 0.001), major complications (OR 2.56, P = 0.003) and 30 days readmission (OR 2.39, P = 0.01). On multivariable Cox' regression analyses, high CONUT remained associated with worse RFS (HR 2.57, P < 0.001), OS (HR 2.37, P < 0.001) and CSS (HR 3.52, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Poor nutritional status measured by the CONUT-score is independently associated with a poorer postoperative course after RC and is predictive of worse RFS, OS, and CSS. This simple index could serve as a comprehensive personalized risk-stratification tool identifying patients who may benefit from an intensified regimen of supportive cares.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enteral nutrition (EN) is essential for critically ill patients. However, some patients will have enteral feeding intolerance (EFI) in the process of EN.
AIM To develop a clinical prediction model to predict the risk of EFI in patients receiving EN in the intensive care unit.
METHODS A prospective cohort study was performed. The enrolled patients’ basic information, medical status, nutritional support, and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms were recorded. The baseline data and influencing factors were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to establish the model, and the bootstrap resampling method was used to conduct internal validation.
RESULTS The sample cohort included 203 patients, and 37.93% of the patients were diagnosed with EFI. After the final regression analysis, age, GI disease, early feeding, mechanical ventilation before EN started, and abnormal serum sodium were identified. In the internal validation, 500 bootstrap resample samples were performed, and the area under the curve was 0.70 (95%CI: 0.63-0.77).
CONCLUSION This clinical prediction model can be applied to predict the risk of EFI.

Abstract
Background 'Lockdowns' to control the spread of COVID-19 in the UK affected many aspects of life and may have adversely affected diets. We aimed to examine (1) the effect of lockdowns on fruit and vegetable consumption, as a proxy for healthy diets more generally, and on weight and well-being, (2) whether any subgroup was particularly affected and (3) the barriers and facilitators to a healthy diet in lockdown. Methods We conducted a mixed-method longitudinal study, involving an online survey of 1003 adults in the West Midlands, UK, 494 of whom were surveyed at two different points in time. Our first time point was during stringent COVID-19 lockdown and the second during a period of more relaxed restrictions. We asked quantitative questions about fruit and vegetable consumption; physical activity, sociodemographic characteristics, body mass index and well-being and qualitative questions about the reasons behind reported changes. Results We find no evidence for decreased fruit and vegetable consumption during lockdown compared with afterwards. If anything, consumption increased by half a portion daily among women, particularly among those who normally have a long commute. This finding, combined with a significant increase in physical activity, suggests that behaviours were healthier during lockdown, consistent with higher self-reported health. However, well-being deteriorated markedly, and participants reported being heavier during the lockdown as well. Our qualitative data suggest that an abundance of resources (more time) supported higher fruit and vegetable consumption during lockdown, despite increased access issues. Conclusions Our results may assuage concerns that lockdowns adversely affected diets. They may point to the impact of commuting on diet, particularly for women. We add longitudinal evidence to a growing body of literature on the adverse effect of lockdown on mental health.

Abstract
The clinical objectives of this prospective, random, convenience series were: 1. Compare a novel fibre-optic pH test device (NGPOD) to gastric aspirate and pH testing for nasogastric tube (NGT) confirmation. 2. Determine if the new device reduces the need for chest radiography (chest X-ray, CXR). Methods Recruitment of patients over the age of 18, requiring NGT feeding.Exclusion criteria: oesophageal gastrointestinal surgery within 3 months; all those with partial or total gastrectomy; bleeding gastric and duodenal ulcers; gastric cancer; those with oesophageal varices; those considered to be inappropriate.The index test, NGPOD, comprises a fine, flexible fibre-optic sensor passed down the NGT, then connected to an electronic device. A green light indicates pH ≤5.5, and a red light if pH is >5.5.The reference test is withdrawal of gastric aspirate and testing with universal pH indicator strips then comparison to a colour chart. Second-line testing is establishing NGT position by CXR or subjective clinical assessment (SCA) in intensive care unit (ICU). Results The analysed data set contained 174 subjects who had undergone 496 tests, 96 initial and 400 repeat NGT checks.For all patients, NGPOD can reduce the need for CXR or SCA by 21.2%.In ICU, NGPOD can reduce the need for CXR or SCA by 24.5%.When performing initial tests, immediately after tube placement, NGPOD can reduce the need for CXR or SCA in 61% of patients.With repeat testing, NGPOD can reduce the need to progress to CXR or SCA in 16% of tests. Conclusions The objective, yes-no result delivered by NGPOD, eliminates the subjective reading of a pH strip colour change, reducing the subjective element. The index test has the opportunity to reduce risk, improve safety and decrease the numbers of patients requiring X-ray. It, therefore, has the potential to reduce never events associated with NGT misplacement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The intensity and duration of the catabolic phase in COVID-19 patients can differ between survivors and non-survivors. The purpose of the study was to assess the determinants of, and association between, nitrogen balance trajectories and outcome in critically ill COVID-19 patients. METHODS This retrospective monocentric observational study involved patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the University Hospital of Clermont Ferrand, France, from January 2020 to May 2021 for COVID-19 pneumonia. Patients were excluded if referred from another ICU, if their ICU length of stay was <72 h, or if they were treated with renal replacement therapy during the first seven days after ICU admission. Data were collected prospectively at admission and during ICU stay. Death was recorded at the end of ICU stay. Comparisons of the time course of nitrogen balance according to outcome were analyzed using two-way ANOVA. At days 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14, uni- and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the impact of a non-negative nitrogen-balance on ICU death. To investigate the relationships between nitrogen balance, inflammatory markers and protein intake, linear and non-nonlinear models were run at days 3, 5 and 7, and the amount of protein intake necessary to reach a neutral nitrogen balance was calculated. Subgroup analyses were carried out according to BMI, age, and sex. RESULTS 99 patients were included. At day 3, a similar negative nitrogen balance was observed in survivors and non-survivors: -16.4 g/d [-26.5, -3.3] and -17.3 g/d [-22.2, -3.8] (p = 0.54). The trajectories of nitrogen balance over time thus differed between survivors and non-survivors (p = 0.01). In survivors, nitrogen balance increased over time, but decreased from day 2 to day 6 in non-survivors, and thereafter increased slowly up to day 14. At days 5 and 7, a non-negative nitrogen-balance was protective from death. Administering higher protein amounts was associated with higher nitrogen balance. CONCLUSION We report a prolonged catabolic state in COVID patients that seemed more pronounced in non-survivors than in survivors. Our study underlines the need for monitoring urinary nitrogen excretion to guide the amount of protein intake required by COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Undernutrition, a common but treatable complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), contributes to poor outcomes but is under-detected. Improved detection could prompt dietary intervention which may improve outcomes. We investigated whether adding a measure of muscle mass (fat-free mass index, FFMI) or a malnutrition screening tool (Mini Nutritional Assessment, MNA®) to the commonly used measure of body mass index (BMI), helps detect undernutrition in COPD. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review of 86 outpatients with COPD. Demographic and disease severity data were collected, and nutritional status assessed using BMI, FFMI and MNA®. RESULTS Patients comprised 55% males with median age 71.5 years, severe COPD (median FEV1 = 0.74 (30.5% predicted)) and high symptom impact (median COPD Assessment Test (CAT) = 23). Twenty-eight percent of patients had low BMI, 27% had low FFMI, 22% were MNA®-classified malnourished and 43% were MNA®-classified at risk of malnutrition. MNA® correlated moderately with BMI and classified 55% of patients with healthy/high BMI as either malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. FFMI and BMI correlated strongly, and low FFMI was present in 5% of patients with healthy/high BMI. The undernutrition measures also showed weak to moderate correlations with disease severity (spirometry data) and MNA® weakly correlated with symptom impact (CAT). CONCLUSION The MNA® identified more undernourished patients than FFMI or BMI. It also correlated with disease severity and broader symptom burden. The MNA® appears to be a simple tool for earlier detection of patients who may benefit from dietary intervention, potentially enhancing their quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite literature supporting the importance of diet during rehabilitation, minimal research quantifies dietary intake during treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD). OBJECTIVE The aim was to quantify dietary intake and energy balance of patients with AUD during inpatient treatment. DESIGN This was a secondary analysis of data from a 4-week observational protocol. Participants self-selected food from a room service menu. Dietary intake was recorded by patients and reviewed by nutrition staff. To quantify nutrient and food group intake, data were coded into Nutrition Data Systems for Research software, versions 2016 and 2017. Daily average intake was calculated for all dietary variables. PARTICIPANTS/SETTING Participants (n = 22) were adults seeking treatment for AUD at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (Bethesda, MD) between September 2016 and September 2017 and who were enrolled in a study examining the microbiome during AUD rehabilitation. Four participants discontinued protocol participation before study week 4 and were not included in analyses examining change over time. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Weight change, daily energy, and macronutrient and select micronutrient intakes were the main outcome measures included. STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED Mean differences in intake and weight were assessed using nonparametric tests. RESULTS Sixty-four percent of participants were male; mean ± SD age was 46.3 ± 13.0 years, mean ± SD body mass index (calculated as kg/m2) was 23.9 ± 2.5, and mean intake was 2,665 kcal/d (consisting of 45.9% carbohydrate, 34.9% fat, and 19.1% protein). Eighty percent or more of this sample met the Estimated Average Requirement for 10 of 16 micronutrients assessed. Male participants consumed more energy than estimated needs (P = .003) and gained a mean ± SD of 2.67 ± 1.84 kg (P = .006) when an outlier with weight loss and acute pancreatitis was removed from analysis. Female participants did not gain weight or consume more than estimated energy needs. CONCLUSIONS Overall macronutrient intake was within recommended ranges, but intake of other dietary components and weight gain were variable, supporting the need for individualized nutrition care during AUD treatment.

Abstract
Introduction Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is essential for patients with intestinal failure requiring long-term nutritional support. The Amerita Quality Improvement Project for HPN Patients (QIP-PN) explored the effect of a physician nutrition expert (PNE)-led multidisciplinary nutritional support team (MNST) on HPN care for patients under its service. Objective To determine an MNST effect on adherence to protocols, outcomes and quality of life (QOL) in HPN. Methods The study was divided into three phases: data review (phases 1a and 1b), observation (phase 2) and intervention (phase 3). Seven Amerita locations were selected as 'study branches' (population), from which all study patients and controls were drawn. The quality improvement project employed a quasi-experimental case-matched control group (control) design. Data were collected on demographics, treating physicians PNE status, HPN care variables, recommended interventions, quality-of-life assessment, adverse outcomes and hospitalisations. Paired t-test compared continuous data between phases 2 and 3. Comparisons between study and control groups used a negative binomial regression model. Results Thirty-four patients were reviewed in phase 1a and 197 in phase 1b. Forty study patients completed phase 2 and progressed into phase 3, of whom 30 completed ≥60 therapy days. Patients were lost to follow-up if they discontinued HPN for any reason. Improvements in weight, body mass index and QOL were seen in the study patients during intervention. Recommendations made and accepted by treating physicians differed based on PNE status. Study patients had fewer adverse outcomes and related hospitalisations than controls. Conclusion MNST recommendations improved clinical, biochemical parameters and patients' self-reported overall health. MNST input reduced adverse outcomes, hospitalisation and the length of stay at the hospital. This study highlights the potential for MNST to have a significant impact on the quality and overall cost of HPN management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a common issue in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and has a negative effect on surgical outcomes. OBJECTIVE We attempted to determine which malnutrition diagnostic variables can be used as predictors of postoperative complications in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS Forty-one patients undergoing surgery for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma were submitted to a prospective evaluation. Biochemical data, anthropometric measurements and evaluation of body composition were used in the nutritional analysis. RESULTS Twenty-two patients (53.6%) developed complications. Serum albumin measured on the first postoperative day was the only variable that significantly differed between groups. A cut-off value of 2.8 g/dL distinguished between patients with a complicated and uncomplicated postoperative course. Normalization of albumin levels occurred more frequently and more rapidly in the noncomplicated group. CONCLUSION Serum albumin measured on the first postoperative day was the only variable that was a predicter of postoperative complications after major head and neck squamous cell carcinoma surgery.

Abstract
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) provides a practical method of body composition estimation for field research and weight management programmes, with devices and algorithms that have improved in recent years. We compared suitability of a commercial BIA system that uses multi-frequency-based proprietary algorithms (InBody 770, Cerritos, California, USA) and a laboratory-based validated single-frequency system (Quantum IV, RJL Systems, Clinton Township, Michigan, USA) with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (iDXA, GE Lunar, Madison, Wisconsin, USA). Volunteers included fit non-obese active duty US Marines (480 men; 315 women), assessed by DXA and the two BIA systems. Both RJL and InBody BIA devices predicted DXA-based fat-free mass (FFM) (mean absolute error (MAE) 2.8 and 3.1 kg, respectively) and per cent body fat (%BF) (MAE 3.4% and 3.9%, respectively), with higher correlations from the InBody device (r2=0.96 (%BF) and 0.84 (FFM)) versus the RJL (r2=0.92 (%BF) and 0.72 (FFM)). InBody overpredicted FFM (bias +2.7, MAE 3.1 kg) and underpredicted %BF (bias -3.4 and MAE 3.9%) versus the RJL. A 3% correction factor applied to the InBody device results provided values very close to the DXA measurements. These findings support the application of modern BIA systems to body composition goals of maximum %BF and minimum lean body mass for both men and women.
