Description
Derya Bıçak Ayık and Derya Akça Doğan study nutritional risk in intensive care patients in a 2026 paper. Malnutrition is common in intensive care units and links to worse outcomes. The team used the NRS-2002 screening tool in a large training and research hospital in Türkiye, from April 2024 to May 2025.
They assessed 169 adult patients, with a median age of seventy-four. Patients at high nutritional risk were clearly older than low-risk patients, and tube or intravenous feeding was more common in the high-risk group. Sedative use and low hemoglobin stood out as markers of high risk. The authors urge regular screening, noting that illness severity scores alone can miss nutritional danger.
