The goal of this study was to define the prevalence of malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies in recently diagnosed IBD patients and to compare the performance of existing malnutrition screening tools in identifying IBD patients at increased risk for malnutrition.<h4>Methods</h4>This was a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with recently diagnosed IBD (≤18 months disease duration). A diagnosis of malnutrition was made utilizing the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism malnutrition criteria. Serum micronutrient levels were included. The sensitivity of 5 malnutrition screening tools in identifying patients at moderate-high risk of malnutrition was deterInflammatory bowel diseasesHigh Prevalence of Malnutrition and Micronutrient Deficiencies in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Early in Disease Course.PMC9977243K23 DK111995Rabinowitz LGColombel JFKeefer LSherman ATse SStanley SGrinspan ADubinsky MCHyne AMatos KCohen BCastillo AUngaro RCRivera-Carrero WGold SLSands BEManning LfalseHigh Prevalence of Malnutrition and Micronutrient Deficiencies in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Early in Disease Course.<h4>Background</h4>Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at an increased risk of malnutrition.
