ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND & AIMS:
Tools for screening of nutrition risk in patients with cancer are usually validated against other screening instruments. Here with the performance of Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) and Nutritional Screening Tool (NUTRISCORE) to identify the risk of malnutrition was assessed. A full nutritional evaluation and diagnosis following criteria from the Global Leadership Initiative of Malnutrition (GLIM) was the reference standard for the classification of malnutrition.METHODS:
Diagnostic test prospective analysis of adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of cancer. MST, NUTRISCORE and nutritional evaluation and diagnosis by GLIM criteria were independently performed within 24 h of admission to a 4th tier hospital in Bogotá, Colombia.RESULTS:
From 439 patients the sensitivity and specificity of MST was 75% and 94% and of NUTRISCORE 45% and 97% respectively. The area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were 0.90 for MST and 0.85 for NUTRISCORE (p = 0.003).CONCLUSION:
The MST showed a significantly better diagnostic performance over NUTRISCORE for detection of malnutrition risk at admission to hospital of patients with cancer.Palabras clave
