Description
Xuexing Wang and co-authors build a model to predict malnutrition in older cancer inpatients in a study from 2024. Poor nutrition weakens patients and worsens outcomes. Patients over sixty-five with tumors face a mix of risks that is hard to weigh by eye.
The team reviewed records of over three thousand patients treated from 2021 to 2023. A standard screening tool scored each patient's nutrition risk. The data split into training and test sets at an eight-to-two ratio. Key risk factors fed a prediction model, which was then validated. A working model lets wards flag high-risk patients on arrival. Early diet support could then start before weight loss deepens.
