 pt AVALIAÇÃO NUTRICIONAL DE PACIENTES HOSPITALIZADOS: CONCORDÂNCIA ENTRE DIFERENTES MÉTODOS
Sampaio, Rafaella Maria Monteiro; Pinto, Francisco José Maia & de Vasconcelos, Cláudia Machado Coelho Souza

Resumo

Objetivo: Avaliar a concordância entre o diagnóstico nutricional obtido pela avaliação nutricional subjetiva global (ANSG) com o obtido pela avaliação antropométrica em pacientes internados em um hospital da rede pública, na cidade de Fortaleza-CE, Brasil. Métodos: Realizou-se a avaliação do estado nutricional em todos os 50 pacientes que estavam internados, no período de agosto a setembro de 2008. Além das medidas de peso, altura, circunferência do braço e prega cutânea tricipital, utilizou-se o formulário da ANSG em cada paciente. O diagnóstico nutricional foi estabelecido a partir do percentual de adequação de cada medida e da pontuação obtida através do formulário. Avaliou-se a concordância entre os diagnósticos obtidos pelos dois métodos, através do teste Qui-Quadrado, com correção de continuidade. Resultados: Participaram da pesquisa 31 (62%) pacientes do sexo masculino e 19 (38%) do sexo feminino, com idade de 37,08±11,92 anos. Existiu associação entre o diagnóstico nutricional da ANSG com o diagnóstico nutricional da avaliação antropométrica final, sendo encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes (p= 0,047) entre ambos os diagnósticos. Conclusão: Podem existir discordâncias de diagnóstico nutricional quando o paciente é avaliado por diferentes métodos.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between the nutritional diagnosis by subjective global nutritional assessment (SGA) and that obtained by anthropometric measurements in patients admitted to a public hospital in the city of Fortaleza-CE, Brazil.Methods:Assessment of nutritional status was conducted for all 50 patients who were hospitalized in the period from August to September 2008. Besides measurement of weight, height, arm circumference and triceps skinfold thickness, SGA form was applied to each patient. Nutritional status was established based on the percentage of appropriateness of each measure and on the scores obtained through the form. Agreement between the diagnoses obtained by the two methods was assessed using the chi-square test with continuity correction.Results:Study participants were 31 (62%) male patients and 19 (38%) females, aged 37.08 ± 11.92 years. Association was found between nutritional diagnosis through SGA and nutritional diagnosis based on final anthropometric evaluation, with statistically significant differences (p = 0.047) between both diagnoses. Conclusion:There may be disagreement concerning nutritional diagnosis when the patient is assessed by different methods.
