Özet
Aim: Malnourished patients have longer hospitalization time, increased drug usage, less functional capacity and higher morbidity and mortality rates compared to well-nourished patients. It has been reported that American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA) evaluation is not suitable in 'estimating nutritional status and this should be evaluated seperately. In this study, the aim was to determine nutritional status of adult hospitalized elective surgical patients with Subjective Global Assessment during preanesthetic evaluation. In addition, patients' age and hospitalization time was evaluated before preanesthetic evaluation with regard to their nutritional status. Material and Method: A total of 450 adult patients from 9 departments were included in this study. Following preanesthetic evaluation, patients' nutritional evaluation were performed in accordance with Subjective Global Assessment. Results: Overall prevalence of malnutrition in adult hospitalized elective surgical patients was determined as 24.22 %. Highest risk of malnutrition was determined in cardiovascular (50.00 %), orthopedic (36.17 %) and general surgery (31.70 %) patients. Mean age and hospitalization time were significantly higher in malnourished patients when compared to well-nourished patients as determined in the preanesthesic evaluation (p<0.05). Conclusion: Overall prevalence of malnutrition in adult elective surgical patients was 24.22 %. The departments with highest rates of patients with malnutrition were Cardiovascular Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery and General Surgery. In addition, it was concluded that malnourished patients tended to have higher mean age and a longer mean hospitalization time before preanesthesic evaluation.
