Résumé : | This systematic review investigated 5 frequently used nutrition screening tools (NSTs) used in hospitals and their effectiveness at identifying malnutrition risk in the elderly. A literature review was conducted to obtain research articles focused on malnutrition screening in hospitalized elderly and effectiveness of the NST used. Twenty six articles were reviewed and evaluated, resulting in 8 that met inclusion criteria. The Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form, designed for use in the elderly, resulted in overestimation of malnutrition. Four screening tools did demonstrate more effectiveness in identifying malnutrition risk; however, several different biochemical and anthropometric parameters were used, which prevented meaningful comparisons. There is a need for a universal NST gold standard for use in the elderly, and further research is indicated. |
