Abstract

Assessment of the nutritional status of a hospitalized pediatric patient on admission and in dynamics plays a key role in ensuring safe treatment. Early diagnosis of nutritional deficiency makes it possible to make timely changes in the content of the diet, which can prevent the development of complications and, in some cases, reduce the duration of hospitalization. Nutritional deficiency depends not only on the presence of initial protein-energy deficiency, but also on the region of residence, the profile of pathology, and the time of hospitalization. To assess the risk of nutritional deficiency in children, screening scales have been developed, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. In contrast to clinical recommendations for adults, no scale is approved as a screening tool in pediatric practice. A search for a reliable nutritional risk assessment scale is needed.
