Brief Summary:
Malnutrition under-nutrition occurs in approximately 30 of hospitalized adults worldwide and results in poor outcomes However there is no universal method for diagnosing malnutrition A group of experts created a set of 6 characteristics to identify malnutrition The goal of this project is to determine whether these characteristics are the best indicators to identify malnutrition or if there are other factors that may better identify malnutrition Because there is no gold standard definition for malnutrition the investigators will compare the characteristics against outcomes such as length of stay hospital readmission and death Outcomes are also influenced by disease state therefore information on what brought the patient to the hospital and what happened to them in the hospital will be collected that allows the investigators to separate the effect of malnutrition from disease The hypothesis for this study is that the malnutrition clinical characteristics and diagnosis criteria as presented by the experts are valid and reliable principles for the diagnosis of adult under-nutrition
