Abstract

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Nutrition screening should be initiated on hospital admission by non-dietitians. This research aimed to validate and assess the reliability of the Canadian Nutrition Screening Tool (CNST) in the 'real-world' hospital setting. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Adult patients were admitted to surgical and medical wards only (no palliative patients). Study 1-- Nutrition Care in Canadian Hospitals (n = 1014): development of the CNST (3 items: weight loss, decrease food intake, body mass index (BMI)) and exploratory assessment of its criterion and predictive validity. Study 2--Inter-rater reliability and criterion validity assessment of the tool completed by untrained nursing personnel or diet technician (DT) (n = 150). Subjective Global Assessment performed by site coordinators was used as a gold standard for comparison. RESULTS: Study 1: The CNST completed by site coordinators showed good sensitivity (91.7%) and specificity (74.8%). Study 2: In the subsample of untrained personnel (160 nurses; one DT), tool's reliability was excellent (Kappa = 0.88), sensitivity was good (>90%) but specificity was low (47.8%). However, using a two-item ('yes' on both weight change and food intake) version of the tool improved the specificity (85.9%). BMI was thus removed to promote feasibility. The final two-item tool (study 1 sample) has a good predictive validity: length of stay (P < 0.001), 30-day readmission (P = 0.02; [chi square] 5.92) and mortality (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The simple and reliable CNST shows good sensitivity and specificity and significantly predicts adverse outcomes. Completion by several untrained nursing personnel confirms its utility in the nursing admission assessment.

Abstract

Body mass index (BMI) and mortality in old adults from the general population have been related in a U-shaped or J-shaped curve. However, limited information is available for elderly nursing home populations, particularly about specific cause of death. A systematic PubMed/EMBASE/CINAHL/SCOPUS search until 31 May 2014 without language restrictions was conducted. As no published study reported mortality in standard BMI groups (Funding agencies: Baxter; Abbott; Fresenius-Kabi; Pfizeer; Nestle; Sanofi; Novo Nordisk; Boehringer Ingelheim; Merck; BMS; Feinstein Institute for Medical Research; Janssen/JJ; National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH); National Alliance for Research in Schizophrenia and
