Development and validation of an inflammatory bowel disease nutrition self-screening tool (IBD-NST) for digital use.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

The identification of, and timely intervention for, patients with impaired nutritional status may reduce inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) complications. This study aimed to develop and validate an IBD-specific nutrition self-screening tool (IBD-NST) that identifies patients at nutrition risk.

Methods

An expert IBD panel was consulted to support development of an IBD-NST. The tool was assessed in different cohorts of patients attending IBD outpatient clinics for face, content and convergent validity and repeat reliability. The tool was compared with (i) the malnutrition universal screening tool to assess face validity and (ii) subjective global assessment (SGA), hand-grip strength (HGS) and mid-arm muscle circumference to assess convergent validity.
