NRS-2002

NRS-2002 was not clearly linked with mortality in humans (older adult ICU patients after simple fracture surgery) (AUC 0.550).

“whereas mNUTRIC, NRS-2002, and vitamin D were not.”

NRS-2002 is associated with functionality in humans (gastrointestinal cancer) (r = 0.213, p < 0.05).

“Notably, patients with higher NRS scores paradoxically reported better functionality (r = 0.213 ; p < 0.05).”

NRS-2002 is associated with grip strength in older patients with gastrointestinal tumours (P<0.05).

“gender, age, disease, body mass index (BMI), albumin concentration and the NRS-2002 score were the main explanatory factors on grip strength (P<0.05).”
