RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is defined as a combination of low strength and muscle mass along with excess adiposity. Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of sarcopenic obesity in candidates for bariatric surgery, according to ESPEN/EASO criteria using bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). METHODS: Retrospective study of adult patients (18-60 years) candidates for bariatric surgery (BMI ≥40 kg/m2 or ≥35 kg/m2 with associated complications). Adiposity was assessed by the percentage of fat mass by DXA, according to Gallagher's cut-off points. Muscle strength was measured by hand grip according to Sánchez-Torralvo, Dodds, and <-2SD cut-off points of healthy reference population. Muscle mass was determined by DXA (ALM/weight according to Batsis) and by BIA (SMM/weight according to Janssen and according to reference population). In addition, the agreement of the different diagnostic methods of sarcopenic obesity was analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 124 subjects were included in the study, with 71.8 % being women. The overall mean age was 42.6 (SD 8.9) years. SO prevalence was found to be 13 %-22 % applying BIA with the SMM/weight equation according to Janssen, 14 %-23 % utilizing BIA with the SMM/weight equation according to the reference population, and 13 %-23 % employing DXA with the ALM/weight equation following Batsis criteria, depending on the specific hand grip strength cut-off points used. In general, we found good or very good concordances with the different diagnostic methods (with kappa values between 0.6 and 0.97). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of SO according to ESPEN/EASO criteria in candidates for bariatric surgery was 13 %-23 % based on the diagnostic method and cut-off points used.

BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery (BS) is a very effective treatment regarding body weight loss but might affect food tolerance and energy and protein intake. The aim of this study was to compare three BS techniques (biliopancreactic diversion (BPD), gastric bypass (GB), and sleeve gastrectomy (SG)) and their effect on food tolerance. METHODS: Prospective study conducted between April 2016 and April 2019. Visits included were 1 before and 6, 12, and 24 months after BS. Food tolerance test (FTT), 24-h recall, and bioelectrical impedance (TANITA MC780) were performed at all visits. RESULTS: Sixty-six patients were included (74.2% women). FTT showed a better self-perception of the intake after surgery in BPD at 6 months (p = 0.013), and at 12 months (p = 0.006). BPD had a better tolerance of 8 food groups at 6 months (red meat p = 0.017, white meat p = 0.026, salad p = 0.017, bread p < 0.001, rice p = 0.047, pasta p = 0.014, fish p = 0.027) and at 12 months, but only red meat (p = 0.002), bread (p < 0.001), rice (p = 0.025), and pasta (p = 0.025) remained statistically different. Twenty-four months after surgery, only the red meat food group (p = 0.007) showed differences. BPD had the lowest incidence of vomiting at 6 months (p < 0.001), 12 months (p = 0.008), and 24 months (p = 0.002). The total score of FTT was better in BPD at 6 months [25.6 (SD 1.5), p < 0.001], 12 months [25.6 (SD 2.4), p < 0.001], and 24 months [25.7 (SD 1.3), p = 0.001]. BPD showed the best intake in energy and proteins at 6 months [1214.8 (SD 342.4) kcal and 67.1 (SD 18.4) g] and 12 months [1199.6 (SD 289.7) kcal and 73.5 (SD 24.3) g]. % FML was higher in GB both at 6 and 12 months being statistically different (p < 0.050). CONCLUSION: Biliopancreatic diversion appears to be the technique with a better food tolerance and protein and energy intake in the first year of follow-up after BS.

Introducción y objetivos: la baja masa muscular (BMM) condiciona el estado nutricional de un individuo y tiene implicaciones en la calidad y el pronóstico de vida. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la composición corporal y determinar los valores de normalidad en el diagnóstico de BMM en un grupo de control de individuos sanos. Material y método: estudio transversal de voluntarios sanos con edades entre 18 y 45 años, con un índice de masa corporal (IMC) < 30 kg/m2. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo incluyendo variables demográficas, clínicas, antropométricas y de composición corporal (mediante bioimpedancia, TANITA MC 780 MA; TANITA, Tokio, Japón), con estratificación por edad, sexo e IMC. Se determinaron los valores correspondientes a -1/-2 desviaciones estándar (DE) para considerar una baja masa/función muscular. Resultados: se incluyeron 67 pacientes, el 71,60 % mujeres, con una mediana de edad de 28,29 (RIC: 4,05) años. Los varones presentan mayor peso, IMC, masa libre de grasa (MLG), masa muscular (MM), masa muscular apendicular (MMA), índice de masa muscular apendicular (IMMA) y dinamometría con respecto a las mujeres. Se determinaron los valores de -1/-2 DE de los distintos parámetros musculares en función del sexo. Conclusiones: este estudio determina los valores normales de BMM en una población sana y joven de nuestro medio, y los índices más empleados para expresarla, lo que permitirá diagnosticar la BMM en situaciones patológicas empleando el valor correspondiente a -2 DE.

Background and aims: low muscle mass (LMM) conditions the nutritional status of an individual and has implications for quality of life and prognosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate body composition and determine normal values in the diagnosis of LMM in a control group of healthy individuals. Methods: a cross-sectional study of healthy volunteers aged 18 to 45 years with body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2, from January 2021 to October 2021. A descriptive study was performed including demographic, clinical, anthropometric, and body composition variables (by bioimpedance, TANITA MC 780 MA; TANITA, Tokyo, Japan), stratified by age, sex and BMI. Values corresponding to -1/-2 standard deviations (SD) were determined to consider low muscle mass/function. Results: we included 67 patients, 71,60 % women, with a median age of 28.29 (IQR 4.05) years. Males presented higher weight, BMI, fat-free mass (FFM), muscle mass (MM), appendicular lean mass (ALM), appendicular lean mass index (ALMI), and dynamometry values when compared to females. The -1/-2 SD values of the various muscle parameters were determined according to sex. Conclusion: this study determined normal LMM values in healthy and young people, and the most commonly used indexes to express it, which will allow the diagnosis of LMM in disease-related situations using the corresponding -2 DS value.

INTRODUCTION: Aim: to present the results of the Spanish home enteral nutrition (HEN) registry of the NADYA-SENPE group for the years 2018 and 2019. Material and methods: from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 the home enteral nutrition registry was recorded, and afterwards a further descriptive and analytical analysis was done. Results: in 2018, 4756 active patients were registered and the prevalence was 101.79 patients per one million inhabitants; in 2019 there were 4633 patients with a prevalence of 98.51 patients per one million inhabitants. They originated in 46 hospitals: 51.3 % were male, and median age was 71.0 years in both periods. The most frequent diagnosis was a neurological disorder that presents with aphagia or severe dysphagia - 58.7 % and 58.2 %, respectively. The main cause of episode termination was death. A total of 116 pediatric patients were registered in 2018 and 115 in 2019. Females represented 57.8 % and 59.1 %, respectively, in each of the periods. Median age at the beginning of HEN was 5 and 7 months. The most commonly recordered diagnostic group (42.2 % and 42.6 %) was included within the other pathologies group, followed by neurological disorders that present with aphagia or severe dysphagia in 41.4 % and 41.7 % of children. The route of administration was gastrostomy in 46.6 % and 46.1 %, respectively, in each of the periods. Conclusions: the NED registry of the NADYA-SENPE group continues to operate uninterruptedly since its inception. The number of registered patients and the number of participating hospitals remained stable in the last biennium analyzed.

OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a challenge for bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) estimations of skeletal muscle and fat mass (FM), and none of the equations used for appendicular lean mass (ALM) have been developed for people with obesity. By using different equations and proposing a new equation, this study aimed to assess the estimation of FM and ALM using BIA compared with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as a reference method in a cohort of people with severe obesity. METHODS: This cross-sectional study compared a multifrequency BIA (TANITA MC-780A) versus DXA for body composition assessment in adult patients with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] of >35 kg/m2). Comparisons between measured (DXA) and predicted (BIA) data for FM and ALM were performed using the original proprietary equations of the device and the equations proposed by Kyle, Sergi, and Yamada. Bland-Altman plots were drawn to evaluate the agreement between DXA and BIA, calculating bias and limits of agreement (LOA). Reliability was analyzed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Stepwise multiple regression analysis was used to derive a new equation to predict ALM in patients with obesity and was validated in a subsample of our cohort. RESULTS: In this study, 115 patients (72.4% women) with severe obesity (mean BMI of 46.1 [5.2] kg/m2) were included (mean age 43.5 [8.6] y). FMDXA was 61.4 (10.1) kg, FMBIA was 57.9 (10.3) kg, and ICC was 0.925 (P < 0.001). Bias was -3.4 (4.4) kg (-5.2%), and LOA was -14.0, +7.3 kg. Using the proprietary equations, ALMDXA was 21.8 (4.7) kg and ALMBIA was 29.0 (6.8) kg with an ICC 0.868, bias +7.3 (4.0) kg (+34.1%) and LOA -0.5, +15.1. When applying other equations for ALM, the ICC for Sergi, et al. was 0.880, the ICC for Kyle, et al. was 0.891, and the best ICC estimation for Yamada, et al. was 0.914 (P < 0.001). Bias was +2.8 (2.8), +4.1 (2.9), and +2.7 (2.8) kg, respectively. The best-fitting regression equation to predict ALMDXA in our population derived from a development cohort (n = 77) was: ALM = 13.861 + (0.259 x H2/Z) - (0.085 x age) - (3.983 x sex [0 = men; 1 = women]). When applied to our validation cohort (n = 38), the ICC was 0.864, and the bias was the lowest compared with the rest of the equations +0.3 (+0.5) kg (+2.7%) LOA -5.4, +6.0 kg. CONCLUSION: BIA using multifrequency BIA in people with obesity is reliable enough for the estimation of FM, with good correlation and low bias to DXA. Regarding the estimation of ALM, BIA showed a good correlation with DXA, although it overestimated ALM, especially when proprietary equations were used. The use of equations developed using the same device improved the prediction, and our new equation showed a low bias for ALM.

INTRODUCTION: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease in which specialized nutritional support is essential. The objectives of our study were to describe nutritional support at the beginning of follow-up and its impact on anthropometry and survival. METHODS: An interhospital registry was created for the hospitals of Castilla-León through a web platform designed for this purpose. An anamnesis was carried out on the evolution and nutritional history of the disease; and classical anthropometry was determined. The prescribed nutritional treatment was recorded. The parameters were measured at the beginning, at six and twelve months of nutritional follow-up. RESULTS: A total of 93 patients [49 (52.7%) spinal; 44 (47.3%) bulbar)] were analyzed. The nutritional support route at the beginning was oral diet in 36 (38.7%) patients; oral nutritional supplementation (SON) in 46 (49.5%) patients; and in 11 (11.8%) patients percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). A decrease in the body mass index (BMI) was observed between the first and second visit [Start: 24.18 (3.29) kg/m2; 6 months: 23.69 (4.12) kg/m2; Pâ¯<â¯.05]. Less weight loss was observed at 6 months compared to the start of nutritional follow-up [Start: 8.09 (8.72)%; 6 months: 1.4 (6.29)%; Pâ¯<â¯.01]. 36 (38.7%) patients died but with no differences according to when nutritional support was started. Survival from the onset of symptoms was higher in the group of patients with artificial nutrition, although without reaching statistical significance [Oral: 28 (20.25) months; SON: 30 (16.75-48.25) months; PEG: 39 (27-52) months; Pâ¯=â¯.90]. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with ALS present a severe deterioration in nutritional status before the start of nutritional support. After the nutritional intervention, a slowdown in weight loss and nutritional deterioration was observed.

(1) Background: Both sarcopenia and disease-related malnutrition (DRM) are unfortunately underdiagnosed and undertreated in our Western hospitals, which could lead to worse clinical outcomes. Our objectives included to determine the impact of low muscle mass (MM) and strength, and also DRM and sarcopenia, on clinical outcomes (length of stay, death, readmissions at three months, and quality of life). (2) Methodology: Prospective cohort study in medical inpatients. On admission, MM and hand grip strength (HGS) were assessed. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria were used to diagnose DRM and EWGSOP2 for sarcopenia. Assessment was repeated after one week and at discharge. Quality of life (EuroQoL-5D), length of stay (LoS), readmissions and mortality are reported. (3) Results: Two hundred medical inpatients, median 76.0 years-old and 68% with high comorbidity. 27.5% met GLIM criteria and 33% sarcopenia on admission, increasing to 38.1% and 52.3% on discharge. Both DRM and sarcopenia were associated with worse QoL. 6.5% died and 32% readmission in 3 months. The odds ratio (OR) of mortality for DRM was 4.36 and for sarcopenia 8.16. Readmissions were significantly associated with sarcopenia (OR = 2.25) but not with DRM. A higher HGS, but not MM, was related to better QoL, less readmissions (OR = 0.947) and lower mortality (OR = 0.848) after adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidity. (4) Conclusions: In medical inpatients, mostly polymorbid, both DRM but specially sarcopenia are associated with poorer quality of life, more readmissions, and higher mortality. Low HGS proved to be a stronger predictor of worse outcomes than MM.

Dysphagia is a highly prevalent symptom in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and the implantation of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a very frequent event. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of PEG implantation on survival and complications in ALS. An interhospital registry of patients with ALS of six hospitals in the Castilla-León region (Spain) was created between January 2015 and December 2017. The data were compared for those in whom a PEG was implanted and those who it was not. A total of 93 patients were analyzed. The mean age of the patients was 64.63 (17.67) years. A total of 38 patients (38.8%) had a PEG implantation. An improvement in the anthropometric parameters was observed among patients who had a PEG from the beginning of nutritional follow-up compared to those who did not, both in BMI (kg/m2) (PEG: 0 months, 22.06; 6 months, 23.04; p < 0.01; NoPEG: 0 months, 24.59-23.87; p > 0.05). Among the deceased patients, 38 (40.4%) those who had an implanted PEG (20 patients (52.6%) had a longer survival time (PEG: 23 (15-35.5) months; NoPEG 11 (4.75-18.5) months; p = 0.01). A PEG showed a survival benefit among ALS patients. Early implantation of a PEG produced a reduction in admissions associated with complications derived from it.

Obesity and diabetes are two closely related disorders. Lifestyle changes and drug treatment do not achieve successful diabetes remission. A treatment option for these patients is bariatric surgery (BS). The partial and complete remission rates vary, depending on the type of technique used (restrictive or malabsorptive), with malabsorptive surgery being more effective in terms of both weight reduction and diabetes remission (DR). Different scales (DiaRem, Ad-DiaRem or 5y-Ad-DiaRem) predict the probability of DR after BS, particularly after gastric bypass surgery. Some studies report higher DR rates in surgery with a greater malabsorptive component. Our aim was to study the benefits of BS at one year and 5 years in terms of the weight and blood glucose profile in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus; assess percentage DR according to ADA criteria; determine the DR predictive capacity of different scores; and examine which variables predict DR at one and five years after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). Percentage overweight reduction and the decrease in both blood glucose and HbA1c were greater with BPD. Complete diabetes remission was approximately 80% at one and 5 years after BS. In general, the scores that determine the probability of DR show poor discriminative capacity in malabsorptive surgery. Presurgery HbA1c predicts DR at one and 5 years after BPD. The type of surgery performed should be individualized, based on the severity of diabetes and the specific characteristics of each patient.

RESUMEN
Pocas áreas dentro de la medicina actual han experimentado en los últimos años un cambio y una evolución como los de la nutrición clínica. Actualmente, el 98 % de los servicios de endocrinología y nutrición en los hospitales de 500 o más camas incorporan una unidad de nutrición clínica y dietética (UNCyD). La formación de los profesionales que integran estas unidades ha sido y será un punto clave para continuar su desarrollo hacia la excelencia. En los estudios del Grado de Medicina, a pesar de su relevancia, la formación en nutrición es actualmente escasa y heterogénea, y necesita una mejora que puede venir de la mano de las propuestas de la ESPEN recientemente publicadas. En el caso de los médicos especialistas en endocrinología y nutrición, las sucesivas adaptaciones del programa docente establecido por la Comisión Nacional de la especialidad y los esfuerzos en formación liderados por la SEEN han permitido una importante mejoría. En la farmacia hospitalaria existe un curriculum de formación en nutrición que podría actualizarse. La formación universitaria en nutrición dentro del Grado de Enfermería también es heterogénea. Los estudios más relacionados, como el Grado de Nutrición Humana y Dietética, Técnico Superior en Dietética, Ciencia y Tecnología de los Alimentos o Bromatología, abordan fundamentalmente temas relacionados con la dietética. Se echa de menos un esfuerzo de coordinación para definir el papel de los integrantes de estas UNCyD multidisciplinares también en lo referente a su formación
Few areas of current medicine have undergone change and evolution in recent years such as those of clinical nutrition. Currently, 98 % of endocrinology and nutrition departments in hospitals with 500 or more beds incorporate a clinical nutrition and dietetics Unit. The training of the professionals that integrate these units has been and will be a key point in their ongoing development towards excellence. In medicine degree studies, despite its relevance, nutrition training is currently scarce and heterogeneous, and needs improvement, which may come hand in hand with the recently published ESPEN proposals. In the case of doctors specializing in endocrinology and nutrition, the adaptations in the teaching program established by the National Commission for this specialty, and the training efforts led by the SEEN have allowed significant improvement. In hospital pharmacy studies there is a nutrition training curriculum that could be updated. University training in nutrition within the nursing degree is also heterogeneous. The most related studies such as the Degree of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Technician in Dietetics, Food Science and Technology or Bromatology fundamentally address issues related to dietetics. There is a lack of coordinated effort to define the role of the members of these multidisciplinary UNCyDs, also in regard to their training

In hospital pharmacy studies there is a nutrition training curriculum that could be updated. University training in nutrition within the nursing degree is also heterogeneous. The most related studies such as the Degree of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Technician in Dietetics, Food Science and Technology or Bromatology fundamentally address issues related to dietetics. There is a lack of coordinated effort to define the role of the members of these multidisciplinary UNCyDs, also in regard to their training.
INTRODUCCIÓN: Pocas áreas dentro de la medicina actual han experimentado en los últimos años un cambio y una evolución como los de la nutrición clínica. Actualmente, el 98 % de los servicios de endocrinología y nutrición en los hospitales de 500 o más camas incorporan una unidad de nutrición clínica y dietética (UNCyD). La formación de los profesionales que integran estas unidades ha sido y será un punto clave para continuar su desarrollo hacia la excelencia. En los estudios del Grado de Medicina, a pesar de su relevancia, la formación en nutrición es actualmente escasa y heterogénea, y necesita una mejora que puede venir de la mano de las propuestas de la ESPEN recientemente publicadas. En el caso de los médicos especialistas en endocrinología y nutrición, las sucesivas adaptaciones del programa docente establecido por la Comisión Nacional de la especialidad y los esfuerzos en formación liderados por la SEEN han permitido una importante mejoría. En la farmacia hospitalaria existe un curriculum de formación en nutrición que podría actualizarse. La formación universitaria en nutrición dentro del Grado de Enfermería también es heterogénea. Los estudios más relacionados, como el Grado de Nutrición Humana y Dietética, Técnico Superior en Dietética, Ciencia y Tecnología de los Alimentos o Bromatología, abordan fundamentalmente temas relacionados con la dietética. Se echa de menos un esfuerzo de coordinación para definir el papel de los integrantes de estas UNCyD multidisciplinares también en lo referente a su formación.

Obesity and diabetes are two closely related disorders. Lifestyle changes and drug treatment do not achieve successful diabetes remission. A treatment option for these patients is bariatric surgery (BS). The partial and complete remission rates vary, depending on the type of technique used (restrictive or malabsorptive), with malabsorptive surgery being more effective in terms of both weight reduction and diabetes remission (DR). Different scales (DiaRem, Ad-DiaRem or 5y-Ad-DiaRem) predict the probability of DR after BS, particularly after gastric bypass surgery. Some studies report higher DR rates in surgery with a greater malabsorptive component. Our aim was to study the benefits of BS at one year and 5 years in terms of the weight and blood glucose profile in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus; assess percentage DR according to ADA criteria; determine the DR predictive capacity of different scores; and examine which variables predict DR at one and five years after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). Percentage overweight reduction and the decrease in both blood glucose and HbA1c were greater with BPD. Complete diabetes remission was approximately 80% at one and 5 years after BS. In general, the scores that determine the probability of DR show poor discriminative capacity in malabsorptive surgery. Presurgery HbA1c predicts DR at one and 5 years after BPD. The type of surgery performed should be individualized, based on the severity of diabetes and the specific characteristics of each patient.
RESUMEN
OBJETIVO: comunicar los datos de nutrición parenteral domiciliaria (NPD) obtenidos del registro del grupo NADYA-SENPE (www.nadya-senpe.com) del año 2018. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: análisis descriptivo de los datos recogidos de pacientes adultos y pediátricos con NPD en el registro NADYA-SENPE del 1 de enero al 31 de diciembre de 2018. RESULTADOS: se registraron 278 pacientes (54,7 % mujeres), 23 niños y 255 adultos, procedentes de 45 hospitales españoles, lo que representa una tasa de prevalencia de 5,95 pacientes/millón de habitantes/año 2018. El diagnóstico más frecuente en adultos fue "oncológico paliativo" (22,0 %), seguido de "otros". En niños fue la enfermedad de Hirschsprung junto con la enterocolitis necrotizante, con cuatro casos (17,4 %). El primer motivo de indicación fue síndrome de intestino corto tanto en niños (60,9 %) como en adultos (35,7 %). El tipo de catéter más utilizado fue el tunelizado tanto en niños (81,0 %) como en adultos (41,1 %). Finalizaron 75 episodios, la causa más frecuente fue el fallecimiento (52,0 %) y el paso a vía oral (33,3 %). CONCLUSIONES: el número de centros y profesionales colaboradores en el registro de pacientes que reciben NPD se mantiene estable, así como las principales indicaciones y los motivos de finalización de la NPD
AIM: to communicate home parenteral nutrition (HPN) data obtained from the HPN registry of the NADYA-SENPE group (www.nadya-senpe.com) for the year 2018. MATERIAL AND METHODS: descriptive analysis of the data collected from adult and pediatric patients with HPN in the NADYA-SENPE group registry from January 1st, 2018 to December 31st, 2018. RESULTS: there were 278 patients from 45 Spanish hospitals (54.7 % women), 23 children and 255 adults, which represent a prevalence rate of 5.95 patients/million inhabitants/year 2018. The most frequent diagnosis in adults was "palliative cancer" (22.0 %), followed by "others". In children it was Hirschsprung's disease together with necrotizing enterocolitis, with four cases (17.4 %). The first indication was short bowel syndrome in both children (60.9 %) and adults (35.7 %). The most frequently used type of catheter was tunneled in both children (81.0 %) and adults (41.1 %). Ending 75 episodes, the most frequent cause was death (52.0 %) and change to oral feeding (33.3 %). CONCLUSIONS: the number of centers and collaborating professionals in the registry of patients receiving HPN remains stable, as well as the main indications and reasons for termination of HPN

INTRODUCCIÓN: La desnutrición relacionada con la enfermedad (DRE) está infradiagnosticada e infrarreportada, a pesar de su asociación con un peor pronóstico. La irrupción del big data y la inteligencia artificial aplicada en medicina ha revolucionado la forma de generar conocimiento. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo valorar si una herramienta de big data podría ayudarnos a detectar y conocer la DRE en nuestro hospital. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio retrospectivo descriptivo, utilizando la herramienta Savana Manager®, que permite analizar y extraer de forma automática la información clínica relevante contenida en el texto libre de la historia clínica electrónica. Se realiza una búsqueda con el término «desnutrición», comparando las características de los pacientes con DRE frente a la población de pacientes hospitalizados en el periodo comprendido entre enero de 2012 y diciembre de 2017. RESULTADOS: De 180.279 registros de hospitalización con informe de alta en dicho periodo, solo 4.446 episodios (2,47%) incluían el diagnóstico de desnutrición. La edad media de los pacientes con DRE fue 75 años (DE 16) frente a 59 (DE 25) años de la población global. No hubo diferencias en género (51% varones). El fallecimiento intrahospitalario se produjo en el 7,08% de los pacientes con DRE frente al 2,98% en el grupo general. La estancia mediana fue superior en los pacientes con DRE (8 vs. 5 días, p < 0,0001) y no hubo diferencias significativas en la tasa de reingresos a 72horas. Los diagnósticos más frecuentes asociados a DRE fueron insuficiencia cardíaca (35%), infección respiratoria (23%), infección urinaria (20%) y enfermedad renal crónica (15%). CONCLUSIÓN: El infradiagnóstico de la DRE sigue siendo un problema. Savana Manager® ayuda a conocer mejor el perfil de estos pacientes
INTRODUCTION: Disease-related malnutrition (DRM) is underdiagnosed and underreported despite its well-known association with a worse prognosis. The emergence of Big Data and the application of artificial intelligence in Medicine have revolutionized the way knowledge is generated. The aim of this study is to assess whether a Big Data tool could help us detect the amount of DRM in our hospital. METHODOLOGY: This was a descriptive, retrospective study using the Savana Manager® tool, which allows for automatically analyzing and extracting the relevant clinical information contained in the free text of the electronic medical record. A search was performed using the term "malnutrition", comparing the characteristics of patients with DRM to the population of hospitalized patients between January 2012 and December 2017. RESULTS: Among the 180,279 hospitalization records with a discharge report in that period, only 4,446 episodes (2.47%) included the diagnosis of malnutrition. The mean age of patients with DRM was 75 years (SD 16), as compared to 59 years (SD 25) for the overall population. There were no sex differences (51% male). In-hospital death occurred in 7.08% of patients with DRM and 2.98% in the overall group. Mean stay was longer in patients with DRM (8 vs. 5 days, P<.0001) and there were no significant differences in the 72-hour readmission rate. The most common diagnoses associated with DRM were heart failure (35%), respiratory infection (23%), urinary infection (20%), and chronic kidney disease (15%). CONCLUSIÓN: Underdiagnosis of DRM remains a problem. Savana Manager® helps us to better understand the profile of these patients

Background: Head and neck cancer patients have a high rate of complications during the postoperative period that could increase their morbidity rate. Arginine has been shown to improve healing and to modulate inflammation and immune response. The aim of our study was to assess whether use of arginine-enriched enteral formulas could decrease fistulas and length of stay (LoS). Methods. A retrospective study was conducted in patients who had undergone head and neck cancer surgery and were receiving enteral nutrition through a nasogastric tube in the postoperative period between January 2012 and May 2018. The differences associated to use of immunoformula vs. standard formulas were analysed. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, and nutritional intervention variables, as well as nutritional parameters, were recorded during the early postoperative period. Occurrence of complications (fistulas), length of hospital stay, readmissions, and 90-day mortality were recorded. Results: In a univariate analysis, patients who received nutritional support with immunonutrition had a lower fistula occurrence rate (17.91% vs. 32.84%; p = 0.047) and a shorter mean LoS [28.25 (SD 16.11) vs. 35.50 (SD 25.73) days; p = 0.030]. After adjusting for age, energy intake, aggressiveness of surgery and tumour stage, fistula occurrence rate and LoS were similar in both groups irrespective of the type of formula. Conclusions: Use of arginine-enriched enteral nutrition appears to decrease the occurrence of fistulas in the postoperative period in patients with head and neck cancer, with a resultant reduction in length of hospital stay. However, the differences disappeared after adjusting for age, tumour stage, or aggressiveness of the surgery
Introducción: El postoperatorio de los pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello presenta una alta tasa de complicaciones. Esta circunstancia podría aumentar la morbilidad en estos pacientes. La arginina ha demostrado mejorar la curación y modular la inflamación y la respuesta inmune. Nuestro planteamiento es valorar si el uso de fórmulas de alimentación enteral enriquecidas con arginina podría reducir la aparición de fístulas y la duración de la estancia hospitalaria. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo en pacientes intervenidos de cáncer de cabeza y cuello que recibieron nutrición enteral a través de una sonda nasogástrica en el periodo postoperatorio entre enero de 2012 y mayo de 2018. Se analizaron las diferencias asociadas a la utilización de inmunofórmula vs. fórmulas estándar. Se recogieron variables sociodemográficas, antropométricas, de intervención nutricional y de parámetros nutricionales durante el postoperatorio inmediato, así como la aparición de complicaciones (fístulas), la duración de la estancia hospitalaria, los reingresos y la mortalidad a 90 días. Resultados: En el análisis univariante los pacientes que recibieron apoyo nutricional con inmunonutrición presentaron menor tasa de aparición de fístulas (17,91 vs. 32,84%; p = 0,047) y menor estancia hospitalaria (28,25 [DE 16,11] vs. 35,50 [DE 25,73] días; p = 0,030). Después de ajustar por edad, aporte calórico, agresividad de la cirugía y estadio del tumor, la incidencia de fístula y la estancia hospitalaria fueron similares entre los grupos, independientemente del tipo de fórmula. Conclusiones: El uso de nutrición enteral enriquecida con arginina en pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello intervenidos podría reducir el desarrollo de la fístula y la duración de la estancia hospitalaria; sin embargo, las diferencias observadas desaparecen después de ajustar por edad, estadio tumoral o agresividad de la cirugía
