Nutritional Status
Lingtak-Neander Chan and Sharon Wu
Identifying patients who are at risk for malnutrition and continually monitoring a patient’s nutritional status are critical components of the comprehensive patient care plan. Research has conrmed that the presence of malnutrition consistently correlates with increased length of stay in the hospital and the intensive care unit (ICU), pro­longed mechanical ventilation, increased risk for healthcare- associated infections and complications, delayed recovery from surgery, delayed wound healing, and increased mortality. and increases healthcare costs.8 Implementation of optimal nutrition support therapy in a timely manner has been shown to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs to the healthcare system.9 e Joint Commission has established standards related to nutritional screening and assessment that are applicable to patients in all acute care and long- term care facilities.
performed by pharmacists. A patient’s malnutrition risk and clinical conditions deter­mine the needs and urgency for specialized nutrition support, such as enteral and parenteral nutrition. Use of specialized nutrition support has implications on patient safety, such as optimization of uid and electrolyte balance, determining route and method of drug administration, and addressing drug compatibility concerns. Addi­tionally, patients with malnutrition are at increased risk for falls and frailty. Altered body composition such as sarcopenia, dehydration, edema, and end organ dysfunc­tion may alter pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic response to pharmacotherapy. erefore, identifying malnourished patients or those who are at risk for malnutri­tion may help pharmacists adjust and optimize pharmacotherapeutic approaches and decisions that can improve patient safety and outcomes.
torically, the term malnutrition is mostly associated with starvation and famine lead­ing to kwashiorkor and marasmus. Kwashiorkor, sometimes known as edematous malnutrition, is a form of protein- calorie malnutrition most commonly associated with hunger and starvation. Patients typically present with loss of muscle and general­ized edema and a large, protuberant belly. Marasmus is also a form of protein- calorie malnutrition. It generally presents with overall weight loss with severe muscle mass depletion without edema. e two conditions are not mutually exclusive because marasmus may progress to kwashiorkor in some patients. With changes in the global economy and landscape and improvements in agriculture, healthcare, education, liv­ing standards, and high- risk medical/surgical interventions, the presentation of mal­nutrition has expanded. e presentation of malnutrition in modern days may not be limited to a lack of access to food in general. Instead, malnutrition more commonly presents as nutrient imbalance, undernutrition, micronutrient abnormalities, obesity, cachexia, frailty, and sarcopenia.11 In particular, sarcopenia, or loss of muscle mass, is the current malnutrition- related research focus. Its prevalence is especially high among older adults, hospitalized patients, critically ill patients, and patients with cancer (Table12-1).12 e evolving changes also challenge the existing clinical de­nition of malnutrition. According to the tenth revision of International Classication of Diseases (ICD) codes, the clinical features that t the diagnosis of malnutrition are still limited (Table12-2) and do not fully address the current understanding of the etiology and presentation of malnutrition.
