Abstract

Objectives: To determine the efficacy of the 3-Minute Nutrition Screening (3-MinNS) tool in adults hospitalized for cardiovascular diseases.

Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study of 759 cardiovascular disease patients in Erciyes University Cardiology Clinic, anthropometric measurements and some routine biochemical parameters were recorded, and nutrition screening tools were used to determine malnutrition status. The power of 3-MinNS to detect malnutrition in cardiovascular diseases patients was calculated.

Results: There was a strong positive correlation between 3-MinNS and Nutrition Risk Screening-2002 (NRS-2002) (r=0.719, <0.001). A moderate agreement was found between 3-MinNS and NRS-2002 (κ=0.496, <0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of 3-MinNS were 79.1%, 75.0%, and 0.851, respectively, and it was determined to be a moderately effective nutrition screening tool that can be used to identify malnutrition in patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Conclusion: The 3-MinNS is a moderately effective nutrition screening tool that can be administered within the first 24 hours of hospitalization in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
