New Review: Management of disease-related #malnutrition for patients being treated in hospital, from Philipp Schuetz and colleagues. hubs.ly/H0Zwy230

Effect of micronutrient supplementation in addition to nutritional therapy on clinical outcomes of medical inpatients: results of an updated systematic review and meta-analysis ift.tt/3qKJ3NK

Albumin is definitely not a reliable nutritional marker for guiding nutritional support interventions in hospitalized patients … read our secondary analysis of the EFFORT trial in Lancet open sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria not only predict clinical outcomes- but are also helpful in identifying patients at risk of malnutrition who most likely benefit from nutritional treatment. clinicalnutritionjournal.com/article/S0261-…

Herzliche Gratulation an die DKF Forschungsgruppe von Philipp Schütz (Philipp Schuetz) vom @ksaarau zum Schweizerischer Nationalfonds (SNF) Projektförderung Grant. Die EFFORT II Studie geht der Frage nach, ob eine Ernährungstherapie auch im ambulanten post-stationären Setting nützt. data.snf.ch/grants/grant/2…

aspenjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jp… Low admission prealbumin concentrations correlated with higher mortality risk; but did not predict benefit from nutritional support. Philipp Schuetz

Dileep Lobo Philipp Schuetz Thanks Prof. Interesting to read: a marker which stratifies risk but doesn't predict response to treatment. Possibly there is another candidate marker in a related pathway that could do both? Daniel Ashmore worth a read. #surgicalresearch

Dileep Lobo Philipp Schuetz Isn’t prealbumin subject to the same problems of albumin…ie it is not a marker of nutritional stare & merely identifies the sick patient…thus mortality is bound to be higher??

Dileep Lobo Philipp Schuetz Nutrition Doc I’d appreciate your views on the value of prealbumin and what authors were hypothesising from this study

Dariush Kamali Dileep Lobo Philipp Schuetz Factors influencing prealbumin levels are legion thus despite its shorter half life probably not that useful for malnutrition identification. IMO this study confirms sick people are sick and calories don’t improve outcomes unless underlying causes addressed 🤷‍♂️

Nutrition Doc Dariush Kamali Philipp Schuetz Very true Nutrition Doc Unfortunately we do not have a half decent blood marker to assess the response to nutritional support.

«Für die Spitäler bestehen klare ökonomische Anreize, an dieser lukrativen Patientenklasse stationäre Eingriffe vorzunehmen, anstatt darauf zu verzichten oder sie ambulant durchzuführen», sagt Dr. Philipp Schütz Philipp Schuetz, Professor Departement Klinische Forschung, Universität Basel @unibasel. 6/9
