Abstract

Aim: Malnourished patients have longer hospital stays, more drug usage, poorer functional capacity and higher morbidity and mortality rates compared to well-nourished patients. To prevent malnutrition in hospitalized patients, physicians should be aware of the fact that every hospitalized patient may be in risk, so that early diagnosis and treatment can be undertaken. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of malnutrition with Subjective Global Assessment in elective surgical patients.Materials and Methods: A total of 1355 adult patients from 9 departments were included in this study. Preanesthetic evaluation and Subjective Global Assessment were performed in that order.Results: The departments with highest rates of malnutrition were cardiovascular surgery (28.8 %), neurosurgery (24.4 %), and general surgery (21.9 %). Overall prevalence of malnutrition was 12.8 %. The average duration of Subjective Global Assessment was 2.42 min.Conclusion: The highest rates of malnutrition were determined cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery and general surgery patients. It was also concluded that Subjective Global Assessment is an readily employable after preanaesthetic evaluation.

Özet

Amaç: Malnütrisyonlu olgular malnütrisyonu olmayanlara göre daha uzun süre hastanede kalış, daha fazla ilaç kullanımı, daha kötü fonksiyonel kapasite ile daha yüksek mortalite ve morbidite oranına sahiptir. Malnütrisyonu önlemeye yardım etmek için hastaneye yatırılan her olgunun öncelikle risk altında olduğu fark edilmeli, erken teşhis ve tedavi yapılmalıdır.Bu çalışmanın amacı, elektif cerrahi planlanan olguların malnütrisyon sıklığını Subjektif Global Değerlendirme ile tespit etmekti.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 9 anabilim dalından toplam 1.355 erişkin olgu alındı. Olguların nütrisyon durumları preanestezik vizit sonrası Subjektif Global Değerlendirme ile belirlendi.Bulgular: En yüksek malnütrisyon oranlarına sahip anabilim dalları kalp ve damar cerrahi (% 28.8), beyin ve sinir cerrahi (% 24.4) ve genel cerrahi (% 21.9)'ydi. Genel malnütrisyon oranı % 12.8 olarak belirlendi. Subjektif Global Değerlendirme için harcanan ortalama süre 2.42 dk. olarak saptandı.Sonuç: Subjektif Global Değerlendirmenin preanestezik viziti takiben kısa sürede uygulanabilen bir yöntem olduğu sonucuna varıldı.
