Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of stroke patients and to investigate the value of screening tests andblood parameters in nutritional status follow-up.Material and Methods: This study was conducted on 42 patients who were hospitalized with ischemic stroke. Mini nutritionalassessment (MNA) test was performed at admission to all patients. Personalized oral nutritional support was initiated in patientswith malnutrition risk (MNA score < 24) or malnutrition (MNA score < 17). During the first visit, albumin, prealbumin, C - reactiveprotein (CRP), total cholesterol and hemogram tests were examined. After four weeks follow-up, MNA test and blood tests wererepeated in all patients included in the study. Data at baseline and at the end of four weeks were compared.Results: The mean MNA score was 22.44±3.13 at first visit. 15 patients (35.7%) were found to be at risk of malnutrition and 7 (16.6%)were malnourished at admission. Serum albumin and prealbumin levels were significantly lower in patients with abnormal nutritionalstatus (p0.05).Conclusion: The nutritional status of stroke patients should be evaluated at regular intervals after the admission and optimal nutritionplan should be made. MNA scoring is a safe method for both diagnosis and monitoring of malnutrition.
