Due to the increasing energy expenditure, hospitalized patients with chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) with respiratory failure are susceptible to nutritional risks
[
[1]
]. It was reported that nutritional risks are associated with more treatment failures,
higher incidence of complications and poorer prognosis [
1
,
2
]. Nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) is so far the only evidence-based tool
to assess the nutritional status, which was issued by European Society for Clinical
Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) [
[3]
]. Its Chinese version has been widely used to evaluated in Chinese hospitalized patients
with good reliability and validity [
[4]
]. However, few studies about the use of NRS 2002 to identify the prognosis of Chinese
patients with COPD with respiratory failure could be found. In this present study,
we aimed to validate whether NRS 2002 could be used to predict readmission rate of
Chinese patients with COPD with respiratory failure through a retrospective analysis
of 146 subjects.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
