    (2020) Zerman, Avşar; Keşkek, Şakir Özgür
    Aim: Types of diseases and treatment modalities can also lead to the exacerbation of malnutrition. The aim of this study was to investigate nutritional status of patients with diabetes mellitus in the intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital. Materials and methods: One hundred and ninety-two patients were enrolled and divided into two groups. The study group comprised of 77 patients with type 2 diabetes and the control group comprised of 115 patients without diabetes. The nutritional risk assessment was tested with NRS (Nutritional Risk Screening) 2002, Nutric score, MNA (Mini-Nutritional Assessment) and MUST (Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool). Results: The groups were comparable according to the NRS 2002 (3.37 ± 1.84 vs. 3.93 ± 1.72, p = 0.075), Nutric score (4.61 ± 1.85 vs. 4.56 ± 1.85, p = 0.869), MNA (8.0 ± 3.1 vs. 7.1 ± 3.2, p = 0.068) and MUST score (1.62 ± 1.46 vs. 1.81 ± 1.59, p = 0.456). Conclusion: In this study, the risk of malnutrition is comparable in both groups. This result may suggest that malnutrition is also related to co-morbidities in addition to diabetes.
