ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe and compare the screening tools for hospitalized children.
Material and Method: Bibliographic search was performed in Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Red Informática de Medicina Avanzada (RIMA), Plataforma HIGHWIRE, Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud (LILACS), U. S. National Library of Medicine (Medline). The key words were nutritional screening, hospitalized malnutrition and diagnosis in hospitalized malnutrition. We reviewed all the literature and present this article.
Results: The most popular stools used in children are Nutritional Risk Score (NRS) Tool, Simple Pediatric Nutritional Risk Score (SPNRS), Subjective Global Nutritional Assessmet for Children (SGNA), Screening Tool for Assessment of Malnutrition in Paediatrics (STAMP), Screening Tool for Risk On Nutritional status and Growth (STRONGkids), and Paediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Score (PYMS). The stools were not standardized in age, have different scores and each one evaluates different things, that’s why we do not have a gold standard and it is not possible to compare them. The sensibility and specificity of each stool have do not demonstrated acutely malnourished.
Conclusions: All the stools revised pretend to determine risk of malnutrition in hospitalized children to do opportune interventions, but almost all the stools are subjective and they are so specific for the place they applied it. The tools may be more standardize and must be adapted to each hospital. We suggest to do a tool easy to be applied and responding to the hospital and specific population.
