Abstract

This research aims to determine the prevalence and appropriate screening tools for malnutrition among hospitalized adults in Viet Nam. Methods: A cross-sectional study among
883 patients at 6 general public hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City Viet Nam was conducted
during April and May 2016. Participants were being measured weight, height, and
screened for risk of malnutrition using NRS-2002, MUST, MST and MNA-SF and assessed for nutritional status using SGA. Results: The prevalence of hospital malnutrition
was 34.1% and high among elderly (49.7%), participants with cancer (46.5%) and pulmonary diseases (43.6%). The risk of malnutrition increased among participants belonging
to poverty or marginal poverty households, having no work in the last 6 months, staying
in hospital longer than 10 days and being admitted via emergency. The nutrition screening
tools NRS-2002, MUST, MST combined with low BMI and BMI at the cut-off value 21
kg/m2 were valid to use in Vietnamese population.
