Description

Gonzalez-Madrono et al developed a logistic regression model to screen a patient for nutritional status. This was develop in association the CONUT score of Ignacio de Ulibarri et al. This can help to identify a patient who may benefit from a closer evaluation. The authors are from Hospital Universitario de la Princesa in Madrid, Spain.


Parameter:

(1) serum albumin in g/dL

(2) total lymphocyte count per µL

(3) serum total cholesterol in mg/dL

 

X =

= (-2.482 * (serum albumin)) - (0.033 * (serum total cholesterol)) - (0.001 * (total lymphocyte count)) + 14.877

 

probability of malnutrition =

= 1 / (1 +EXP((-1) * X))
