Increased risk of rehospitalisation and death in older hospital patients at risk of malnutrition: A cohort study
Older patients at risk of malnutrition have a higher risk of rehospitalisation and death during the first year after nutritional risk screening compared with those not at risk. Among patients at risk of malnutrition, the initial hospital admissions were more often due to ACSCs. The impact of the risk of malnutrition on outcomes appears stronger in patients aged 65-79 years and in patients with less comorbidity. These findings underline the importance of nutritional risk screening and subsequent nutritional support in all groups of older patients.
