This podcasts discussed a sentinel paper, Malnutrition Diagnoses and Associated Outcomes in Hospitalized Patients: United States, 2018, looking at the most current HCUP (Healthcare Cost Utilization Project) data on malnutrition in hospitalized patients. The data confirms that malnutrition is prevalent in hospitalized patients and is associated with higher readmission rates, inpatient mortality and costs. The author discusses how this data compares with prior years and what it tells us about current clinical practice in screening, assessing and coding for malnutrition.
