Abstract

Objective: To screen the nutrition risk of critical ill patients in 108 Military Central Hospital by Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and Nutritional Risk in the Critical Ill (NUTRIC) tools and compare the equivalence between the two scores in detecting patients with nutritional risk in the ICU. Subject and method: A prospective descriptive study was conducted in the Intensive Care Unit in 108 Military Central Hospital from June to August, 2020. 105 adult patients who were screened nutritional risk by both NUTRIC and NRS 2002 were included. Result: 54 (51.4%) patients were identified high nutrition risk by NRS 2002, while only 29 (27.6%) patients was classified similarly by NUTRIC. The comparison between both nutrition screening tools showed fair agreement (κ = 0.31). Conclusion: NUTRIC và NRS 2002 are only fair equivalent for nutritional risk screening in the ICU. Larger studies may help evaluate whether the tool is better at identifying in nutritrion risk in ICU.
