Abstract

MST, MUST, and NRS-2002 all present a good level of accuracy in detecting malnutrition in patients with chronic diseases. Thus, it is recommended that nurses, physicians, dieticians, and other health care workers use these tools in daily practice. Further investigations are warranted to validate these findings.
