NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF PATIENTS BEFORE THYROID SURGERY AT THE NATIONAL HOSPITAL OF ENDOCRINOLOGY IN 2022
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aims: To evaluate the nutritional status of patients before thyroid surgery at the Thyroid Surgery Department, National Hospital of Endocrinology in 2022.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on 163 patients before thyroid surgery. Nutritional status of the patients was investigated using body mass index (BMI), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and subjective global assessment (SGA).
Results: The rates of malnutrition according to SGA and BMI were 31.3 and 7.4%, respectively. The rate of overweight according to BMI was 10.4%. The rate of obesity was 1.8% according to BMI, while it was 0% by MUAC classification.
Conclusion: High rate of malnutrition was presented in the patients before thyroid surgery. It is important to use SGA to evaluate the patients and give an approptiate intervention of nutrition to prevent severe effects of malnutrition on surgical patients.
