Prevalence and Predictors of Malnutrition Risk among Post-Stroke Patients in Outpatient Setting: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Authors:
Hui Jie Wong Sakinah Harith Pei Lin Lua Khairul Azmi Ibrahim

Malays J Med Sci 2020 Jul 19;27(4):72-84. Epub 2020 Aug 19.

Neurology Unit, Department of Medicine, Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah, Jalan Sultan Mahmud, Terengganu, Malaysia.

Background: The present study examined the prevalence and predictors of malnutrition risk among post-stroke patients.

Methods: Post-stroke patients who attended the outpatient clinics in three hospitals of Peninsular Malaysia were enrolled in the study. The risk of malnutrition was assessed using the Malnutrition Risk Screening Tool-Hospital. Data including demographic characteristics, clinical profiles, dietary nutrients intake, body mass index (BMI) and hand grip strength were collected during the survey. The crude odds ratio (OR) and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) were reported for univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, respectively.

Results: Among 398 patients included in the study, 40% were classified as high-risk for malnutrition. In the multivariable logistic regression, tube feeding (AOR: 13.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.22-53.77), loss of appetite (AOR: 8.15, 95% CI: 4.71-14.12), unemployment (AOR: 4.26, 95% CI: 1.64-11.12), wheelchair-bound (AOR: 2.23, 95% CI: 1.22-4.09) and BMI (AOR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.82-0.93) were found to be significant predictors of malnutrition risk among stroke patients.

Conclusion: The risk of malnutrition is highly prevalent among post-stroke patients. Routine nutritional screening, identification of risk factors, and continuous monitoring of dietary intake and nutritional status are highly recommended even after the stroke patient is discharged.

Yonsei Med J 2021 Mar;62(3):249-254

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Gyeongsang National University Hospital, Jinju, Korea.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of frailty among an older adult population living in rural communities and to determine if frailty is associated with nutritional status after adjusting for sarcopenia and depression.

Materials And Methods: This research used baseline data from the Namgaram-2 study. Frailty was evaluated using the Kaigo-Yobo checklist in an older Korean population. Read More

Nontuberculous mycobacterial lung infections in patients with eating disorders: plausible mechanistic links in a case series.

Authors:
Daniela E Grayeb Edward D Chan Leah M Swanson Dennis G Gibson Philip S Mehler

AME Case Rep 2021 25;5. Epub 2021 Jan 25.

University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, Colorado, USA.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are widely distributed in the environment and are almost always acquired into the lungs by bioaerosol inhalation or aspiration of NTM-contaminated water, biofilms, and soil. NTM are increasingly recognized as causes of lung diseases in immunocompetent hosts, a not insignificant number of whom have a life-long or nearly life-long slender body habitus as well as thoracic cage abnormalities such as scoliosis and pectus excavatum. While several hypotheses have been offered to explain the purported increase in susceptibility to NTM lung disease in such individuals, the precise explanation remains unknown. Read More

J Pediatr Hematol Oncol 2021 Feb 25. Epub 2021 Feb 25.

Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL.

Background: Most children with cancer utilize a central venous line (CVL) for treatment. Complications often necessitate early replacement, revision, or addition (RRA), but the rate of these procedures is not known. This study sought to determine rates of RRA in pediatric oncology patients, and associated risk factors. Read More

Public Health Nutr 2021 Feb 26:1-26. Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Department of Community Health Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Objective: The Cambodian population has experienced an increase in the proportion of stunted children who have overweight mothers during a period of rapid social and economic growth. We aimed to identify socioeconomic factors associated with this household-level double burden over time.

Design: We used data from four Cambodia Demographic and Health Surveys from 2000 to 2014 to study the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on the link between child stunting and overweight mothers in two periods 2000-2005 vs. Read More
