Abstract

Hospital malnutrition hampers the clinical evolution of patients by increasing hospital stay, healthcare costs, and the prevalence of comorbidities. The international nutritionDay (nDay) audit offers a clear insight into the efficacy of the nutritional care provided by healthcare institutions. This paper aims to show how nutritional assessment evolved in the hospital over a 2-year period.
