Hospital management of the patient with dysphagia. Survey and recommendations of SEEN nutrition area.

INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of dysphagia in hospitalized patients is extraordinarily high and little known. The goal of care should be to assess the efficacy and safety of swallowing, to indicate personalized nutritional therapy. The development of Dysphagia Units, as a multidisciplinary team, facilitates comprehensive care for this type of patient. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A observational, cross-sectional, web-based survey-type study, focused on Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition department heads, was conducted in September-October 2021. The following data were analyzed: size and type of center, existence of a dysphagia unit, dysphagia screening, dietary and nutritional therapy, education and training of professionals and patients, codification, and quality of life evaluation. RESULTS: 65 responses (39% of the total Endocrinology and Nutrition departments). 37% of hospitals have a Dysphagia Unit and 25% are developing it. 75.4% perform screening, with MECV-V in 80.6%, and VED (61.4%) and VFS (54.4%) are performed as main complementary tests. The centers have different models of oral diet, thickeners and nutritional oral supplements adapted to dysphagia. In 40% of the centers, no information is offered on dysphagia, nor on the use of thickeners, dysphagia is coded in 81%, 52.3% have specific nursing protocols and only 8% have scales for quality-of-life evaluation. CONCLUSIONS: The high prevalence and the risk of serious complications require early and multidisciplinary management at the hospital level. The information received by the patient and caregiver about the dietary adaptations they need, is essential to minimize risks and improve quality of life.

Expert Consensus on Morphofunctional Assessment in Disease-Related Malnutrition. Grade Review and Delphi Study.

Disease-related malnutrition (DRM) affects approximately a third of hospitalized patients and is associated with an increased risk of morbimortality. However, DRM is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Our aim is to evaluate the prognostic value of morphofunctional tools and tests for nutritional assessment in clinical practice. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify studies relating to the morphofunctional assessment of nutritional status and mortality or complications. Evidence was evaluated using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations) method. Twelve GRADE recommendations were made and divided into seven topics: food intake and nutrient assimilation, anthropometry, biochemical analysis, hand grip strength, phase angle, muscle imaging, and functional status and quality of life. From these recommendations, 37 statements were developed and scored in a two-survey Delphi method by 183 experts. A consensus was reached on accepting 26/37 statements. Surveys had high internal consistency and high inter-rater reliability. In conclusion, evidence-based recommendations were made on the prognostic value of morphofunctional assessment tools and tests to assess malnutrition, most of which were found to be feasible in routine clinical practice, according to expert opinions.

Perception of training and job perspectives among final-year residents in the specialty of Endocrinology and Nutrition.

INTRODUCTION: The medical specialisation model in Spain is carried out in the context of specialised health training, through the residency programme. The aim of the study is to analyse, by an anonymous survey, the opinion on three aspects among final-year residents in Endocrinology and Nutrition (E&N): self-assessment of the knowledge acquired, working prospects, care and training consequences arising from the pandemic COVID-19. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional observational study using a voluntary and anonymous online survey, shared among final-year national interns in the last year of the E&N programme, carried out between June-July 2021. RESULTS: 51 responses were obtained, 66% of the fourth-year residents. Overall perception of their knowledge was 7.8 out of 10. Most external rotations were in thyroid and nutrition areas. A total of 96.1% residents, carried out some activity associated with COVID-19, with a training deterioration of 6.9 out of 10. 88.2% cancelled their rotations and 74.5% extended their working schedule. The average negative emotional impact was 7.3 out of 10. 80.4% would like to continue in their training hospital, remaining 45.1%. 56.7% have an employment contract of less than 6 months, most of them practising Endocrinology. CONCLUSION: The perception of the knowledge acquired during the training period is a "B". Residents consider that the pandemic has led to a worsening of their training, generating a negative emotional impact. Employment outlook after completing the residency can be summarised as: temporality, practice of Endocrinology and interhospital mobility.

[Malnutrition management of hospitalized patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia un the perioperative setting]. / Abordaje de la desnutrición en pacientes hospitalizados con diabetes/hiperglucemia en el contexto perioperatorio.

Introduction: People with diabetes are at high risk of requiring surgical intervention throughout their lives, and of perioperative complications in case of poor metabolic control. Hospitalization represents a stressful event that, together with other factors associated with diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, leads to a deterioration in the nutritional status of the patients. An association between poor nutritional status and adverse outcomes in surgical patients has been observed. This article describes the results of the expert consensus and the responses of the panelists on the nutritional management in routine clinical practice of patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia hospitalized (non-critically ill) in the perioperative setting.

Introducción: Las personas con diabetes tienen un riesgo elevado de requerir una intervención quirúrgica a lo largo de su vida y de tener complicaciones perioperatorias en caso de un control metabólico deficiente. La hospitalización representa un evento estresante que, unido a otros factores asociados a procedimientos diagnósticos y terapéuticos, conlleva un deterioro del estado nutricional de los pacientes. Se ha observado una asociación entre un estado nutricional deficiente y resultados adversos en pacientes quirúrgicos. El presente artículo describe los resultados del consenso de expertos y las respuestas de los panelistas sobre el manejo nutricional en la práctica clínica habitual de los pacientes con diabetes/hiperglucemia hospitalizados en planta (no críticos) en el periodo perioperatorio.

[Malnutrition management of hospitalized patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia and heart failure]. / Abordaje de la desnutrición en pacientes hospitalizados con diabetes/hiperglucemia e insuficiencia cardíaca.

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among older people, making it a major public health problem. Cardiovascular diseases in general, and HF in particular, are common comorbidities in people with type 2 diabetes (DM2). The concurrence of DM2 and HF is associated with more severe clinical symptoms and signs, and poorer quality of life and prognosis. Furthermore, due to the hypercatabolic state and nutrient absorption disorders, malnutrition is present in many HF cases. This article describes the results of the expert consensus and the responses of the panelists on the nutritional management in routine clinical practice of patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia hospitalized (non-critically ill) with HF.

Introducción: La insuficiencia cardíaca (IC) es una de las principales causas de morbilidad y mortalidad entre las personas mayores, lo que la convierte en un importante problema de salud pública. Las enfermedades cardiovasculares en general, y la IC en particular, son comorbilidades frecuentes en personas con diabetes tipo 2 (DM2). La presencia de DM2 e IC se asocia con síntomas y signos clínicos más graves, y peor calidad de vida y pronóstico. Además, debido al estado hipercatabólico y los trastornos de la absorción de nutrientes, la desnutrición está presente en muchos casos de IC. El presente artículo describe los resultados del consenso de expertos y las respuestas de los panelistas sobre el manejo nutricional en la práctica clínica habitual de los pacientes con diabetes/hiperglucemia hospitalizados en planta (no críticos) con IC.

[Malnutrition management of hospitalized patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia and cancer cachexia]. / Abordaje de la desnutrición en pacientes hospitalizados con diabetes/hiperglucemia y caquexia tumoral.

Introduction: Diabetes is a frequent comorbidity in cancer patients, since they share common risk factors. In cancer, the concurrence of cachexia represents a poor prognostic factor, which is aggravated by poor nutritional status. Clinically, cancer cachexia manifests as a significant reduction in body weight, accompanied by changes in body composition and alterations in the balance of the biological system, and causes progressive dysfunction. This article describes the results of the expert consensus and the responses of the panelists on the nutritional management in routine clinical practice of patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia hospitalized (non-critically ill) with cancer cachexia.

Introducción: La diabetes es una comorbilidad frecuente en pacientes con cáncer, ya que comparten factores de riesgo comunes. En la enfermedad oncológica, la presencia de caquexia tumoral representa un factor de mal pronóstico, que se ve agravado por un estado nutricional deficiente. Clínicamente, la caquexia se manifiesta como una reducción significativa del peso corporal, acompañado de cambios en la composición corporal y alteraciones en el equilibrio del sistema biológico, y causa una disfunción progresiva. El presente artículo describe los resultados del consenso de expertos y las respuestas de los panelistas sobre el manejo nutricional en la práctica clínica habitual de los pacientes con diabetes/hiperglucemia hospitalizados en planta (no críticos) con caquexia tumoral concurrente.

[Malnutrition management of hospitalized patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia and liver cirrhosis]. / Abordaje de la desnutrición en pacientes hospitalizados con diabetes/hiperglucemia y cirrosis hepática.

Introduction: Liver cirrhosis is a progressive and chronic disease of the liver, of diverse etiology, which is frequently associated with glucose intolerance and in some cases concurs with type 2 diabetes (DM2). DM2 is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with cirrhosis, including a higher rate of hospitalizations, a higher prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma, and an increased risk of mortality. Malnutrition is another frequent complication of cirrhosis, the prevalence of which increases with the degree of liver dysfunction, worsening the prognosis. This article describes the results of the expert consensus and the responses of the panelists on the nutritional management in routine clinical practice of patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia hospitalized (non-critically ill) with liver cirrhosis.

Introducción: La cirrosis hepática es una enfermedad progresiva y crónica del hígado, de etiología diversa, que se asocia frecuentemente con intolerancia a la glucosa y en algunos casos concurre con diabetes tipo 2 (DM2). La DM2 se asocia con resultados adversos en pacientes con cirrosis, incluyendo una mayor tasa de ingresos hospitalarios, una mayor prevalencia de carcinoma hepatocelular y un mayor riesgo de mortalidad. La desnutrición es otra complicación frecuente en la cirrosis, cuya prevalencia aumenta con el grado de disfunción hepática, empeorando el pronóstico. El presente artículo describe los resultados del consenso de expertos y las respuestas de los panelistas sobre el manejo nutricional en la práctica clínica habitual de los pacientes con diabetes/hiperglucemia hospitalizados en planta (no críticos) con cirrosis hepática.

[Malnutrition management of hospitalized patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia and concurrent pathologies]. / Abordaje de la desnutrición en pacientes hospitalizados con diabetes/hiperglucemia y otras patologías.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a highly prevalent disease worldwide, generating an increasing clinical and economic burden due to its micro- and macrovascular complications. Frequently, people with diabetes are hospitalized for various pathologies. These patients generally have higher risk of complications, prolonged hospitalizations and mortality. An additional factor that worsens the prognosis in these patients is the concurrence of malnutrition, especially in elderly people. All this makes the management of these patients challenging and requires a specific nutritional approach, whose purpose is to cover the nutritional requirements while always maintaining glycemic control. The purpose of this work is to provide, based on the evidence available in the literature and clinical experience, consensus recommendations by eighteen experts in Endocrinology and Nutrition on the nutritional approach of hospitalized patients with diabetes/ hyperglycemia and compare the optimal management, based on these recommendations with bedside usual care according to a panel of Spanish doctors surveyed about their daily clinical practice. This first article of this extraordinary issue of the journal Nutrición Hospitalaria describes the methodology of the study and the results obtained regarding common issues for all pathologies.

Introducción: La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 es una enfermedad muy prevalente en todo el mundo y genera una carga clínica y económica creciente debido a sus complicaciones micro- y macrovasculares. Con frecuencia, las personas con diabetes son hospitalizadas por diversas patologías. Estos pacientes tienen, por lo general, un mayor riesgo de complicaciones, de estancias prolongadas y de mortalidad. Un factor adicional que empeora el pronóstico en estos pacientes es la presencia de desnutrición, sobre todo en personas de edad avanzada. Todo ello hace que el manejo de estos pacientes sea complejo y requiera un abordaje nutricional específico, cuya finalidad sea cubrir los requerimientos nutricionales manteniendo siempre el control glucémico. La finalidad de este trabajo es generar, en base a los datos disponibles en la bibliografía y la experiencia clínica, recomendaciones consensuadas por parte de dieciocho expertos en Endocrinología y Nutrición sobre el abordaje nutricional de pacientes hospitalizados con diabetes/hiperglucemia y comparar el manejo óptimo basado en estas recomendaciones con la atención habitual a pie de cama, según un panel de médicos españoles encuestados sobre su práctica clínica diaria. En este primer artículo de este número extraordinario de la revista Nutrición Hospitalaria, se describe la metodología seguida y los resultados obtenidos sobre las cuestiones comunes para todas las patologías.

[Malnutrition management of hospitalized patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia and sarcopenia]. / Abordaje de la desnutrición en pacientes hospitalizados con diabetes/hiperglucemia y sarcopenia.

Introduction: Sarcopenia is a multidimensional condition that negatively affects muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance. The prevalence of sarcopenia in people with diabetes is much higher than that of the general population, especially in individuals with poor nutritional status. Both sarcopenia and malnutrition are conditions amenable to intervention to improve clinical prognosis. This article describes the results of the expert consensus and the responses of the panelists on the nutritional management in routine clinical practice of patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia hospitalized (non-critically ill) with sarcopenia.

Introducción: La sarcopenia se describe como una afección multidimensional que afecta negativamente a la masa muscular, la fuerza muscular y el rendimiento físico. La prevalencia de sarcopenia en personas con diabetes es muy superior a la de la población general, especialmente en individuos que presentan un estado nutricional deficiente. Tanto la sarcopenia como la desnutrición son condiciones susceptibles de intervención para mejorar el pronóstico clínico. El presente artículo describe los resultados del consenso de expertos y las respuestas de los panelistas sobre el manejo nutricional en la práctica clínica habitual de los pacientes con diabetes/hiperglucemia hospitalizados en planta (no críticos) con sarcopenia concurrente.

[Malnutrition management of hospitalized patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia and hip fracture]. / Abordaje de la desnutrición en pacientes hospitalizados con diabetes/hiperglucemia y fractura de cadera.

Introduction: The yearly incidence of hip fracture is very high, which generates significant healthcare and socioeconomic burden. These fractures can occur at any age, but the vast majority occur in people over 65 years of age and predominantly in women, due to the increased risk of menopause-associated osteoporosis. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), apart from altering glucose, lipid and protein metabolisms, also causes a deregulation of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium and dysfunction in bone metabolism. The prevalence of malnutrition in patients with hip fracture is also high, due to their advanced age, and the acute injury itself provokes catabolic and inflammatory responses that result in disease-related malnutrition and sarcopenia, which aggravates the patient's clinical condition. This article describes the results of the expert consensus and the responses of the panelists on the nutritional management in routine clinical practice of patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia hospitalized (non-critically ill) with hip fracture.

Introducción: La incidencia de fractura de cadera cada año es muy alta, lo que genera una importante carga asistencial y socioeconómica. Estas fracturas pueden producirse a cualquier edad, pero la gran mayoría ocurren en personas mayores de 65 años y con predominancia del sexo femenino, debido al mayor riesgo de osteoporosis tras la menopausia. La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2), aparte de alterar el metabolismo glucídico, lipídico y proteico, también causa una desregulación del calcio, fósforo y magnesio, y alteraciones del metabolismo óseo. La prevalencia de desnutrición en pacientes con fractura de cadera es también elevada, por la edad avanzada, y la misma lesión aguda generar respuestas catabólicas e inflamatorias que resultan en desnutrición relacionada con la enfermedad y sarcopenia, lo que agrava el estado clínico del paciente. El presente artículo describe los resultados del consenso de expertos y las respuestas de los panelistas sobre el manejo nutricional en la práctica clínica habitual de los pacientes con diabetes/hiperglucemia hospitalizados en planta (no críticos) con fractura de cadera.

How the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the training of Endocrinology and Nutrition Residents. Results of a survey by the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition.

INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 disease has become a priority for our healthcare system. The resident physicians training in endocrinology and nutrition (E&N residents) have been integrated into the COVID-19 teams. This study has been designed with the aim of analysing the educational, occupational and health impact on E&N residents. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cross-sectional observational study via a web survey, aimed at E&N residents who are members of the SEEN, carried out in November 2020. The following data were analysed: demographic variables, number of beds in the training hospital, alteration of rotations, integration in COVID-19 teams, participation in telemedicine, scientific activity and impact on physical and emotional health. RESULTS: 87 responses were obtained (27% of all E&N residents), 67.8% women, 28.1 ±â€¯1.8 years, 60% 4th year E&N residents. 84% participated in COVID-19 teams and 93% in the telemedicine consultations of their service. Most have had their rotations interrupted. 97.7% have participated in scientific meetings or virtual congresses and a third of them have collaborated in scientific work on COVID-19 in relation to endocrinology and nutrition. Overall, 75.8% think the pandemic has affected their mood a lot or quite a lot, and 73.8% think that the pandemic has negatively impacted their training. CONCLUSIONS: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has compromised the training, work activity and health of E&N residents. They have been integrated both in COVID-19 teams and in the restructured activity of their departments. However, they have managed to continue their training in virtual format and have participated in scientific work.

Multidisciplinary consensus on nutritional and metabolic therapy in enhanced recovery after abdominal surgery programs: NutRICA Project.

BACKGROUND: The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care pathways include evidence-based items designed to accelerate recovery after surgery. Interdisciplinarity is one of the key points of ERAS programs. OBJECTIVE: To prepare a consensus document among the members of the Nutrition Area of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN) and the Spanish Group for Multimodal Rehabilitation (GERM), in which the goal is to homogenize the nutritional and metabolic management of patients included in an ERAS program. METHODS: 69 specialists in Endocrinology and Nutrition and 85 members of the GERM participated in the project. After a literature review, 79 statements were proposed, divided into 5 sections: 17 of general characteristics, 28 referring to the preoperative period, 4 to the intraoperative, 13 to the perioperative and 17 to the postoperative period. The degree of consensus was determined through a Delphi process of 2 circulations that was ratified by a consistency analysis. RESULTS: Overall, in 61 of the 79 statements there was a consistent agreement, with the degree of consensus being greater among members of the SEEN (64/79) than members of the GERM (59/79). Within the 18 statements where a consistent agreement was not reached, we should highlight some important nutritional strategies such as muscle mass assessment, the start of early oral feeding or pharmaconutrition. CONCLUSION: Consensus was reached on the vast majority of the nutritional measures and care included in ERAS programs. Due to the lack of agreement on certain key points, it is necessary to continue working closely with both societies to improve the recovery of the surgical patients.

SeDREno study - Prevalence of hospital malnutrition according to GLIM criteria, ten years after the PREDyCES study / Estudio SeDREno: prevalencia de la desnutrición hospitalaria según los criterios GLIM, diez años después del estudio PREDyCES

Background & aims: the last large multicenter study on disease-related malnutrition (DRM) in Spain (the PREDyCES study) showed a 23.7 % prevalence of malnutrition, according to the Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002) tool. The main objective of the SeDREno study was to assess the prevalence of hospital malnutrition upon admission, according to GLIM criteria, ten years later. Methods: a cross-sectional, observational, multicenter study in standard clinical practice, conducted in 17 hospitals during a period of five to seven days. Patients were initially screened using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), and then assessed using the GLIM criteria for diagnosis and severity grading. Results: a total of 2,185 patients, 54.8 % males, mean age 67.1 (17.0) years (50.2 % aged ≥ 70 years), were evaluated. Malnutrition was observed in 29.7 % of patients according to GLIM criteria (12.5 % severe, 17.2 % moderate). In patients ≥ 70 years malnutrition was observed in 34.8 %. The clinical conditions significantly associated with a higher prevalence of malnutrition were dysphagia (47.6 %), cognitive impairment (43.4 %), cancer (39.1 %), gastrointestinal disease (37.7 %), diabetes (34.8 %), and cardiovascular disease (33.4 %). The multivariate analysis revealed that gender, BMI, diabetes, cancer, gastrointestinal disorders, and polypharmacy were the main independent factors associated with DRM. Malnutrition was associated with an increase in length of hospital stay and death (p < 0.001). (AU)

Antecedentes y objetivos: el último gran estudio multicéntrico sobre desnutrición relacionada con la enfermedad (DRE) en España (el estudio PREDyCES) mostró una prevalencia de desnutrición del 23,7 % según la herramienta Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002). El principal objetivo del estudio SeDREno fue evaluar la prevalencia de la desnutrición hospitalaria al ingreso según los criterios GLIM diez años después. Métodos: estudio transversal, observacional, multicéntrico, según la práctica clínica estándar, realizado en 17 hospitales durante un período de cinco a siete días. Los pacientes fueron evaluados inicialmente con la herramienta de detección universal de desnutrición (MUST) y luego con los criterios GLIM para el diagnóstico de DRE y la clasificación de la gravedad. Resultados: se evaluaron 2185 pacientes, con un 54,8 % de varones, una edad media de 67,1 (17,0) años (50,2 % ≥ 70 años). Se observó desnutrición en el 29,7 % de los pacientes según los criterios GLIM (12,5 % grave, 17,2 % moderada). Entre los pacientes ≥ 70 años se observó desnutrición en el 34,8 %. Las condiciones clínicas asociadas significativamente con una mayor prevalencia de desnutrición fueron la disfagia (47,6 %), el deterioro cognitivo (43,4 %), el cáncer (39,1 %), las enfermedades gastrointestinales (37,7 %), la diabetes (34,8 %) y la patología cardiovascular (33,4 %). El análisis multivariante reveló que el sexo, el IMC, la diabetes, el cáncer, los trastornos gastrointestinales y la polimedicación eran los principales factores independientes asociados a la DRE. La desnutrición se asoció a un aumento de la duración de la estancia hospitalaria y la muerte (p < 0,001). (AU)

The multivariate analysis revealed that gender, BMI, diabetes, cancer, gastrointestinal disorders, and polypharmacy were the main independent factors associated with DRM. Malnutrition was associated with an increase in length of hospital stay and death (p < 0.001). Conclusions: DRM in admitted patients has increased in Spain in the last 10 years paralleling ageing of the population. In the SeDREno study almost one in three patients are malnourished. A systematic assessment of nutritional status allows early detection and implementation of nutritional interventions to achieve a better clinical outcome.

Los pacientes fueron evaluados inicialmente con la herramienta de detección universal de desnutrición (MUST) y luego con los criterios GLIM para el diagnóstico de DRE y la clasificación de la gravedad. Resultados: se evaluaron 2185 pacientes, con un 54,8 % de varones una edad media de 67,1 (17,0) años (50,2 % ≥ 70 años). Se observó desnutrición en el 29,7 % de los pacientes según los criterios GLIM (12,5 % grave, 17,2 % moderada). Entre los pacientes ≥ 70 años se observó desnutrición en el 34,8 %. Las condiciones clínicas asociadas significativamente con una mayor prevalencia de desnutrición fueron la disfagia (47,6 %), el deterioro cognitivo (43,4 %), el cáncer (39,1 %), las enfermedades gastrointestinales (37,7 %), la diabetes (34,8 %) y la patología cardiovascular (33,4 %). El análisis multivariante reveló que el sexo, el IMC, la diabetes, el cáncer, los trastornos gastrointestinales y la polimedicación eran los principales factores independientes asociados a la DRE. La desnutrición se asoció a un aumento de la duración de la estancia hospitalaria y la muerte (p < 0,001). Conclusiones: la DRE en pacientes ingresados ha aumentado en España en los últimos 10 años en paralelo con el aumento del envejecimiento de la población. En el estudio SeDREno, casi uno de cada tres pacientes está desnutrido. La evaluación sistemática del estado nutricional permite la detección e implementación precoces de intervenciones nutricionales para lograr un mejor resultado clínico.
