Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS

Clinical nutrition counseling
In the first phase, all patients admitted to the Departmental Simple Operating Unit Admission Room of Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli will be screened for NRS-2002 upon admission. Only patients with NRS-2002 ≥ 3 will subsequently be tracked via the Foundation's computer system (TrackCare®). The patients will be managed by caregivers who may spontaneously request nutritional counseling, as is currently the case. Patient data (laboratory tests, medical history, reason for admission, any instrumental test reports) and clinical outcomes (average length of hospitalization, complications, antibiotic therapy use, intensive care admission, mortality, re-hospitalization within 30 days) will be obtained from the Foundation's computer system (TrackCare®) and recorded in a dedicated Excel® spreadsheet. Costs related to hospitalization and management of any complications will also be assessed.
