Actual situation of nutritional management and factors related to activities of daily living ability at discharge in convalescent rehabilitation ward
Body weight and GNRI scores decreased after admission but stopped decreasing after the fifth month due to a gradual increase in energy intake. At discharge, the FIM score was positively associated with the GNRI score. We expected that active nutritional therapy from the beginning of hospitalization would increase the GNRI by the time of discharge and eventually improve ADL ability at discharge.
