HGS z scores and FEV significantly increased at follow-up. HGS z scores were lower than the standard even though mean BMI z scores classified participants as normal nutrition status.

HGS was not significantly different between hospitalized and nonhospitalized participants, although anthropometric measurements were similar between groups. A strong relationship was demonstrated between HGS and BMI and MUAC z scores. Further research is needed that examines serial HGS measurements, feasibility in hospitalized patients, and the association of HGS measurements and nutrition risk.
