Abstract:
Undernutrition is a serious condition affecting significant numbers of patients in hospital. It increases the risk of mortality, delays recovery and increases the cost of hospitalisation. The prevention of undernutrition in hospital patients should be a priority for all healthcare professionals and requires a collaborative multidisciplinary approach.
