ABSTRACT

Malnutrition is an importantproblem among ambulatory and hospitalized patients, specially en the setting of Intensive Care Units. There are several scales for diagnosing malnutrition, that require complicated measures and/or the use of biomarkers. The Subjective Global Assessment es a tool that help the clinician to assess malnutrition in a very simple way at the bedside, and offers a good correlation with the aforementioned trials. Adjustments in the Subjective Global Assessment have been made in order to make it fit to certain group of patients. The Modified Subjective Gobal Assessment in our facilities may be useful for correct diagnosis and therapeutic guidance. To assess this new scale it was compared with the two most sensible parameters for the malnutrition diangosis and its original scale.
