Malnutrition Matters in Canadian Hospitalized Patients
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Malnutrition is common in Canadian hospitalized patients, yet system-wide malnutrition screening is not mandatory in Canada.
AIMS: Our goal was to define the point prevalence of malnutrition risk at a major tertiary care center in Hamilton, Ontario, using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) to determine feasibility of hospital-wide screening in the Canadian context.
