Assessment of Malnutrition in Hospitalized Patients: a Quasi Study

Exclusion Criteria

• •Maternity/Obstetrics: Pregnant or lactating women, as nutritional requirements and physiological BMI changes differ from the general adult population.
• •Terminal Illness: Patients in end-of-life or palliative care where nutritional intervention is no longer a clinical goal.
• •Incomplete Records: Patients with missing medical or medication charts that prevent the accurate identification of Medication-Related Problems (MRPs).
• •Short Stay: Patients planned for discharge or transfer within less than 48 hours of admission.
• •Psychiatric Disorders: Patients with primary psychiatric diagnoses that may interfere with the ability to conduct nutritional assessments (unless a guardian is present).
