“…In this study, SGA was used as the gold standard to identify the nutritional screening tools with the highest accuracy in order to be validated with anthropometric measures. The Pediatric Subjective Global Assessment consists of both objective and subjective items in a physical examination and detailed questionnaire; then each child is categorized into (1) well-nourished category, (2) moderately malnourished category, or (3) severely malnourished category 15 .…”

Background: Nutritional screening, intervention and assessment in patients with undernutrition are key components of any nutritional care. The goal of any nutritional assessment is to determine the specific nutritional risk(s). Presently, there are no guidelines on any ideal screening tool to be used on admission for identification of children that are at risk of developing malnutrition during their hospital stay. The objective of the study was to develop a valid and simple nutritional screening tool which can be used on hospital admission to identify pediatric patients at risk of malnutrition. Methods: This study was cross sectional analytical that enrolled children (n:161) admitted with acute illness to the general wards at Cairo University Children Hospitals (CUCH). The answers to the developed questionnaire were compared to the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), those with high accuracy (≥80%) were used for validity with anthropometric measures. Results: In the ‘less than two years of age’ group, the simple and valid nutritional screening tools were the following questions: (Is there a problem during breast-feeding?), (Is there scanty breast milk?), (Is there appetite loss?). The simple and valid nutritional screening tools during the ‘early childhood’ group were the following questions: (Is there appetite loss?), (Is there any skipping of meals?), (Are they watching TV, videotapes and/or playing computer games for more than two hours/day?). The simple and valid nutritional screening tools during the ‘late childhood’ group were the following questions: (Is there appetite loss?), (Are they watching TV, videotapes and/or playing computer games for more than two hours/day?). Conclusion: The simple and valid nutritional screening tools differ according to age groups. The one which is valid in all ages is the question about the appetite loss.

“…Anak yang berisiko mengalami malnutrisi rumah sakit dapat dideteksi dengan menggunakan alat skrining yang sederhana dengan validitas dan reliabilitas yang cukup baik (10,11,13,14) serta mudah dilakukan. Hasil skrining akan membantu menentukan apakah pasien perlu asuhan gizi lanjut atau cukup diberikan diet rutin sehari-hari.…”

Hospital malnutrition and pediatric nutrition care in Hasan Sadikin Hospital BandungBackground: Malnutrition during hospitalization delays the recovery of children with acute or chronic illnesses. The Pediatric Nutrition Care (PNC) can improve nutritional support and reduce the prevalence of hospital malnutrition.Objectives: This study was done to find evidence of hospital malnutrition and to evaluate the nutrition care in the pediatric ward of Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung. Methods: We evaluated malnutrition by comparing body weight change between the first day of admission and at hospital discharge to the length of hospitalization. Screening for malnutrition risk was done using modified Pediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Screening (mPYMS). Score≥2 was determined as high risk. The PNC process was evaluated by a focused group discussion with PNC-associated pediatric ward personnel.Results: From February-March 2016, 760 patients were admitted to the pediatric ward, of which 111(14.6%) were included in the study. An mPYMS score of ≥2 was found in 69(62.2%) of the patients. During hospitalization, body weight decreased in 23(20.7%) patients, 10(9.0%) of whom were defined as hospital malnutrition. Among these, seven had an mPYMS score≥2. PNC was performed in patients with an mPYMS score≥2 by dietitians who also provided a standardized nutrition care process following American Dietetic Association recommendation. However, a dedicated multidisciplinary PNC team was absent and the nutrition and metabolic disease division was consulted only in a few cases. Performing consistent monitoring and evaluation of PNC was also found to be difficult. Conclusions: Hospital malnutrition may be prevalent among pediatric patients in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung. Improving PNC services may reduce this prevalence.
