Résumé
Little is known about the nutritional care provided to patients who develop hospital acquired malnutrition (HAM). The present study aimed to describe the quality of nutritional care provided to patients who developed HAM and determine whether this differed by length of stay (LOS). A retrospective medical records audit was conducted on adults with LOS > 14 days across five Australian public hospitals from July 2015 to January 2019 who were clinically assessed to have HAM. Descriptors and nutrition-related care data were sourced. Descriptive statistics were conducted. Chi-squared and t-tests were used to compare patient data by LOS ≤ or > 50 days. Eligible patients (n = 208) were 64% male, with median (range) LOS of 51 (15-354) days, body mass index = 26.8 ± 6.2 kg m Opportunities exist to optimise nutritional care to facilitate the prevention and management of hospital acquired malnutrition in long-stay patients.

BACKGROUND
Little is known about the nutritional care provided to patients who develop hospital acquired malnutrition (HAM). The present study aimed to describe the quality of nutritional care provided to patients who developed HAM and determine whether this differed by length of stay (LOS).
METHODS
A retrospective medical records audit was conducted on adults with LOS > 14 days across five Australian public hospitals from July 2015 to January 2019 who were clinically assessed to have HAM. Descriptors and nutrition-related care data were sourced. Descriptive statistics were conducted. Chi-squared and t-tests were used to compare patient data by LOS ≤ or > 50 days.
RESULTS
Eligible patients (n = 208) were 64% male, with median (range) LOS of 51 (15-354) days, body mass index = 26.8 ± 6.2 kg m
CONCLUSIONS
Opportunities exist to optimise nutritional care to facilitate the prevention and management of hospital acquired malnutrition in long-stay patients.
