The purpose was to compare, in elderly hospitalized patients, the performance of widely used nutritional screening and assessment tools and anthropometric parameters with the Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002); and to evaluate their independent association with length of hospital stay. Nutritional-status screening and assessment was carried out using NRS-2002, Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST), and anthropometry. Patients classified by NRS-2002 as undernourished had an independent higher risk of longer length-of-stay (> 8 days): Odds ratio = 2.25 (95% Confidence Interval = 1.03 to 4.88). Nutritional "risk" by NRS-2002 is an independent risk factor for a long length of stay in elderly hospitalized patients, an important outcome predictor in this population.
