Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
We aimed to evaluate the use of the Screening Tool for the Assessment of Malnutrition in Pediatrics (STAMP) among children admitted in a pediatric hospital, and assess its effect on medical staff's awareness to nutritional status and health outcomes at discharge.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Screening Tool for the Assessment of Malnutrition in Pediatrics (STAMP) was chosen for this study because it is highly applicable, frequently used by nurses and has shown high reproducibility, as well as concurrent and predictive validity. The tool was developed by McCarthy et al11 in England. It collects the following information to assess nutritional risk for a patient: discrepancy between the weight and height percentile weight for the age expected nutritional risk caused by clinical diagnosis, recent changes in the appetite. The assessment results are used to define if there is a need for a referral to a full nutritional assessment.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
STAMP using
Relevant to the third part of the study. 30 Children between 1 and 17 years of age from internal medicine department will undergo a complete evaluation by an investigating dietician and assessment by the STAMP tool in order to determine the extent of the nutritional risk on a numerical scale.
questionnaire STAMP and dietary
Children will undergo a complete evaluation by an investigating dietician and assessment by the STAMP tool in order to determine the extent of the nutritional risk on a numerical scale. According to findings children will get the dietary recommendations.
No STAMP using
Relevant to the third part of the study. Other 30 children that are not screened by dietitian and either not by STAMP
No intervention
The Placebo Comparator arm children got the classic care that practiced in hospitalization
