Official title

Evaluate the Prevalence of Undernutrition in Adult Patients Hospitalized on a Given Day at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (PSL) According to HAS Criteria in 2019 (if Age <70 Years) and 2021 (if Age ≥ 70 Years)

Overview

According to the literature, malnutrition affects between 30% and 50% of hospitalized patients. The most recent survey on the prevalence of malnutrition in hospitals in France dates back to 2003, and at the Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital to 2015. Malnutrition is a pathological process that can lead to complications for patients and prolong their length of stay. Main objective: Evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition in adult patients hospitalized on a given day at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (PSL) according to HAS ( High Authority for Health) criteria for 2019 (if age \<70 years) and 2021 (if age ≥ 70 years).

Detailed description

According to the literature, malnutrition affects between 30% and 50% of hospitalized patients. The most recent survey on the prevalence of malnutrition in hospitals in France dates back to 2003, and at the Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital to 2015. Malnutrition is a pathological process that can lead to complications for patients and prolong their length of stay.

Main objective: Evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition in adult patients hospitalized on a given day at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (PSL) according to HAS (High Authority for Health) criteria for 2019 (if age \<70 years) and 2021 (if age ≥ 70 years).

Interventions

  • Other malnutrition questionary
    At the patient's bed, using a questionnaire, evaluators take anthropometric measurements (weight, height, muscle strength) and collect biological data (albumin, pre-albumin, CRP, if available in the medical record) to establish nutritional status according to HAS criteria for undernutrition 2019-2021 and 2003-2007.

Primary outcome measures

  • Prevalence of undernutrition diagnosed according to HAS 2019 and 2021 criteria on a given day in hospitalized PSL patients. [Time frame: 3 days]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • Compare the prevalence and the severity of undernutrition in hospitalized PSL patients according to the HAS criteria of 2019 (if age <70 years) and 2021 (if age ≥ 70 years) versus those of 2003 (if age <70 years) and 2007 (if age ≥ 70 years). [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Evaluate the quality of nutritional management for malnourished patients hospitalized at PSL. Using PMSI coding, assess the value of activities associated with undernutrition in undernourished patients hospitalized at PSL. [Time frame: 6 months]
