Abstract

Aims: To assess the nutritional status of patients during the acute exacebation ofchronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods: A cross-sectional study wasconducted at the National Lung Hospital on142 patients, using the convenient sampling, collecting anthropometric and biochemical data, and assessing the nutritional status using BMI and the subjective global assessment tool (SGA).

Results: The prevalence of patients with chronic energy deficiency was 37.3%. The prevalence of patients at risk of malnutrition according to SGA was 86.6%, of which severe malnutrition (SGA-C) accounted for 11.2%. The prevalence of patients with serum albumin concentration below 35 g/L in the SGA-C group was 43.8%, significantly higher than the SGA-B group: 18.7% and the SGA-A group: 5.2 % (p = 0.015). The prevalence of patients with serum protein levels below 60 g/L was 7.0%.

Conclusion: Patients with acute exacerbation of COPD are at high risk of malnutrition, necessaryto assess malnutrition and undertake early nutritional intervention to prevent malnutrition and improve treatment outcomes.
