BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was whether the Food Intake Visual Scale (FIVS) can be used in clinical practice to measure food intake in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed with patients with cirrhosis between April 2017 and July 2019. The food intake was assessed through the 1-day diet record (DR) and according to FIVS, which consists of pictures of four plates of food at different levels of consumption: "about all," "half," "a quarter," or "nothing." The analysis of variance test with Bonferroni multiple comparison analysis was used to compare the mean energy intake through the DR according to the FIVS categories. RESULTS: This study included 94 patients with a mean age of 60.29 ± 9.33 years. Patients with lower food intake according to the FIVS categories also had lower mean energy and macronutrient intake according to the DR: patients eating "about all" (n = 49, 52.1%) consumed a mean of 1526.58 ± 428.27 kcal/day, patients eating "half" (n = 16, 17%) consumed a mean of 1282.08 ± 302.83 kcal/day, patients eating "a quarter" (n = 25, 26.6%) consumed a mean of 978.96 ± 468.81 kcal/day, and patients eating "nothing" (n = 4, 4.3%) consumed a mean of 353.59 ± 113.16 kcal/day (P < .001). CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrate that FIVS can be implemented in clinical practice to measure food intake in patients with decompensated cirrhosis as a substitute for the DR because it is a noninvasive, low-cost, quick, reliable, and easy bedside method for obtaining data.
