Background:
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease with high incidence and morbidity, which threatens the health of people. This study aims to investigate the nutritional risk status of TB inpatients and its correlation with disease prognosis.
Methods:
A total of 295 patients with TB hospitalized in Suining Central Hospital from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 were assessed by nutritional risk screening 2002 system within 2 days of admission. According to their assessment score, patients were divided into two groups: the nutritional risk group and the non-nutritional risk group. The differences in age, gender, TB classification, comorbid diseases, body mass index, serum albumin, complications, and the length of hospital stay were analyzed between the two groups.
Results:
In the study population, 64.41% of TB inpatients were assessed as being at nutritional risk. There were significant differences in age, combined diseases, body mass index, serum albumin, incidence of complications, and length of hospital stay between the nutritional risk group and the non-nutritional risk group (P<0.05).
Conclusions:
TB inpatients are often at nutritional risk, and the incidence of complications in patients with nutritional risk is high and the hospital stay prolongs. The nutritional status of TB inpatients is also related to the progression and prognosis of the disease.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
