Nutritional status as a predictor of 30-day mortality among intensive care unit patients in sub-Saharan Africa: a prospective cohort study
Malnutrition is prevalent in adult ICU patients and has been linked to a higher 30-day mortality and a more extended ICU stay. MUST, SGA, and NUTRIC, well-validated, practical, cost-effective, and non-invasive techniques for routinely evaluating nutritional status in critically ill patients, were good predictors of mortality.
