Overview
In the nutritional screening executed among 2988 children and adolescents at the age of 1 to 19 years upon admission to hospital to the Children Ward it has become obvious that almost 28% of admitted patients displayed medium risk of mal nutrition development ad 2% of the admitted patients were in a high risk. A higher risk was associated with a more frequent stay at the intensive care unit. Defined enteric nutrition given orally represented the most frequent nutritional intervention, followed by introduction of parenteral nutrition or administration of enteric nutrition by a probe. At the faculty hospitals there was more often the nutritional therapist or nutritional specialist who took care of the patients. Almost 16% of admitted patients and classified at high risk of malnutrition did not enjoy any nutritional intervention and received a common diet corresponding to their age. The introduction of nutritional screening represents the main step forward in the diagnostics of malnutrition. The detection of nutritional state disorder is the reason for nutritional intervention and further observation of the nutritional conditions of children admitted to the children wards.
Key words:
screening of nutritional state, nutritional intervention.
