Defining malnutrition in persons with spinal cord injury - does the Global Criteria for Malnutrition work?

CONCLUSIONS: In this cross-sectional study, 62% of subacute SCI patients were malnourished according to the GLIM criteria. The screening tool MUST showed moderate agreement with the GLIM criteria and did not detect risk of all patients with a malnutrition diagnosis. The clinical implications of these findings need further investigation.PMID:38571922 | PMC:PMC10989229 | DOI:10.29219/fnr.v68.9989
