Nutritional assessment
1986
Bastow, M.
A brief authoritative review focuses on specific clinical and biochemical indicators for the assessment of nutritional status of hospitalized patients. Attention is given to: (1) various anthropometric indices and their use as criteria in the diagnosis of malnutrition; and (2) laboratory markers of nutritional status (serum proteins; creatinine and 3-methyl histidine; prognostic indices based on nutritional measurements). The implications of the use of such data for clinically judging whether a patient is undernourished are discussed.
