Using Patient Completed Screening Tools to Predict Risk of Malnutrition in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Malnutrition is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), however, malnutrition screening is not routinely performed. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of malnutrition in patients with IBD and compare the accuracy of patient completed screens to a gold-standard malnutrition assessment tool: the dietitian-completed subjective global assessment (SGA).
