Concurrent validity of GLIM criteria in nutritional assessment of surgical patients with colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Malnutrition affects outcomes in surgical treatment of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) proposed a framework of diagnostic criteria, but it needs validation in different settings. The aim of this study was to evaluate the concurrent validity of GLIM criteria-across all 21 phenotypic-etiologic combinations-against a standard (modified Subjective Global Assessment, mSGA) in surgical patients with CRC.

Methods

Prospective cohort of 105 adults scheduled for elective CRC surgery (June 2023-June 2024). Nutritional risk was screened with Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002). Nutritional status was assessed by mSGA and by GLIM across all 21 combinations. Agreement and classification differences were tes
