摘要：Many hospitalized patients usually have a high risk of malnutrition, which delays the therapy process and can lead to severe complications. Despite of the potential benefits, the effects of timely intervention by nutrition support team (NST) on the nutritional status of admitted patients are not well established. This study aimed to compare the nutritional status between patients with early and delayed NST supports and to assess the effect of the timing of NST support initiation on the nutritional status of enteral nutrition patients. In a simple comparison between the two groups, the early NST intervention group had shorter hospital stays and fewer tube feeding periods than the delayed NST intervention group. The increase in the amount of energy intake from first to last NST intervention was 182.3 kcal in patients in the early NST intervention group, higher than that in patients in the delayed intervention group (p = 0.042). The extent of reduction in serum albumin and hemoglobin levels between the initial and last NST intervention tended to be lower in the early NST intervention group than in the delayed NST intervention group. The mean odds ratio for the patients who were severely malnourished in the early NST intervention group was 0.142 (95% confidence interval, 0.045-0.450) after adjusting for hospital stay and age. The results of this study indicate that early NST intervention can improve patients' overall nutritional status. Copyright © 2021. The Korean Society of Clinical Nutrition.
