Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The prevalence of malnutrition in patients admitted to hospital remains an ongoing issue that affects 30-50% of inpatients. Disease-related malnutrition (DSM) is common in patients with almost any disease; older people and people with non-communicable diseases are at a particularly high risk. Nutrition intervention for patients at nutritional risk is a cost-effective intervention with both clinical and financial benefits. Nutrition care comprises screening, assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and monitoring. It aims to assess, prevent, and treat DSM. This should be provided to all patients. In this Special Issue, original research papers, reviews, and meta-analytic studies are invited to shed further light on the role of nutrition support in optimising outcomes in hospital in-patients.
