    The document provides evidence-based recommendations for nutritional management of adult malnutrition across healthcare settings. It recommends routine malnutrition screening using a valid tool, with screening occurring in acute settings. Appropriate nutrition goals aim to prevent nutritional status decline or improve status for those at risk or malnourished. Nutrition interventions can improve outcomes and should consider setting, resources, and patient goals and preferences. Recommendations are given grades from A to D based on strength of supporting evidence.

    MAJOR RECOMMENDATION ON

    EVIDENCE-BASED NUTRITION
    PRACTICE GUIDELINES

    GROUP 2 10/10/2022
    Evidence based practice guidelines for the
    nutritional management of malnutrition in
    adult patients across the continuum of care
    SUMMARY OF EVIDENCE-BASED RECOMMENDATIONS

    The guideline recommendations have


    been graded using the National
    Health and Medical Research Council
    (NHMRC) classifications for grades of
    recommendation1, which are as
    follows:
    Level A: Body of evidence can be trusted to
    guide practice.

    Level B: Body of evidence can be trusted to


    guide practice in most situations.

    Level C: Body of evidence provides some


    support for recommendation(s) but care should
    be taken in its application.

    Level D: Body of evidence is weak and


    recommendation(s) must be applied with caution.
    1. Nutrition screening
    What is the prevalence of malnutrition and is it a
    problem?

    Evidence-based recommendations:

    The prevalence of malnutrition is high worldwide


    (including in Australia) in all healthcare settings, yet is
    largely under-recognised and under-diagnosed resulting
    in a decline in nutritional status. Therefore, it is
    recommended that healthcare professionals are
    informed that malnutrition is associated with adverse
    clinical outcomes and costs.

    NHMRC Grade of recommendation: A


    Should there be routine screening for malnutrition and if so
    where and when should malnutrition screening occur?

    Evidence-based recommendations:

    Routine screening for malnutrition should occur in the


    acute setting to improve the identification of malnutrition
    risk and to allow for nutritional care planning.

    NHMRC Grade of recommendation: B


    2. Nutrition assessment

    What nutrition assessment processes can be used to


    diagnose malnutrition in adults?

    Evidence-based recommendations

    Use a valid nutrition assessment tool appropriate to


    the population in which it is to be applied.

    NHMRC Grade of recommendation: B


    3. Nutrition goals, interventions and monitoring
    In adults with malnutrition or at risk of malnutrition, what are the
    appropriate nutrition goals, for optimal client, clinical and cost
    outcomes?

    Evidence-based recommendations

    Aim to prevent decline/improve nutritional status and associated


    outcomes in adults with malnutrition or at risk of malnutrition.

    NHMRC Grade of recommendation: A


    What are the appropriate interventions for prevention and
    treatment of malnutrition in adults?

    Evidence-based recommendations

    Nutrition interventions can improve outcomes. Consideration


    should be given to the healthcare setting, resources,
    patient/client goals, requirements and preferences.

    NHMRC Grade of recommendation: B–C
