Use of C-Reactive Protein in Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) Etiologic Criteria for Critically Ill Patients: A Retrospective Claims Database Study.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) is suggested by major societies. The etiologic criteria for inflammation in critically ill patients remain unclear. Because an initial nutritional assessment is recommended within 48 h, it is also possible to use C-reactive protein (CRP) up to 3 days after admission. The purpose of the present study is to explore the utility of CRP in identifying malnutrition and to determine whether a nutritional assessment incorporating CRP criteria can effectively identify malnourished patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of ICU patients. The primary outcome was a composite of in-hospital mortality, Barthel index < 60 at discharge, and length of hospital stay
