Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to identify the risk of malnutrition in patients admitted to the Internal Medicine departments using the MUST screening tool. Additional aspects are to evaluate malnourished patients' characteristics and effectiveness of an early nutritional programme started during hospitalization.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Malnutrition is defined as a nutritional state characterized by an excess or deficient intake of nutrients. This condition may result in a change in body composition and in organic disfunctions. Malnutrition in hospitalized patients is a condition prevalent worldwide affecting between 20% and 50% of patients at admission, with further increase expected during hospitalization. Patients hospitalized in internal medicine departments are frequently older with multimorbidity and polypharmacy, so very likely to be malnourished, but the prevalence and determinants of malnutrition remain unclear.

In AMIDO study, all patients with MUST 1 and 2 will be sent to the a dietitian. The clinician will act on the patient's characteristics by providing different dietary therapies, such as oral nutritional supports (ONS), extra nutritional cares, diet changes without supplements and artificial nutrition.
