Association of longitudinal changes in nutritional status with survival outcomes in childhood cancer.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Malnutrition is common among children with cancer in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Although baseline undernutrition has been associated with complications and inferior outcomes, prospective data evaluating how longitudinal nutritional changes relate to survival are limited. In this study we aimed to study the longitudinal changes in anthropometric measures during treatment of childhood cancer and their association with event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). METHODS: Children aged 18 years or younger with a new diagnosis of malignancy between August

Early Growth Hormone Treatment Enhances Growth and Nutritional Status in Silver-Russell Syndrome.

CONTEXT: Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is an imprinting disorder characterized by severe intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation, feeding difficulties, and risk of hypoglycemia. Recombinant growth hormone (rGH) therapy has shown its positive effect on adult height in SRS. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the short-term effects of rGH therapy on the growth and nutritional status of these children. METHODS: Retrospective monocentric data of growth and nutritional characteristics of 77 prepubertal children with molecularly proven SRS during the first 2 years of rGH therapy were analyzed. RE…

Nutritional Status as Predictor for Mortality in Older Adults with Acute Kidney Injury.

INTRODUCTION: Older adults (OAs) exhibit the highest incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI), with outcomes influenced by comorbidities, frailty, and malnutrition. Nutritional status, a potentially modifiable factor, has not been extensively evaluated as a mortality predictor in hospitalized OA with AKI. Our purpose was to report on the mortality risk provided by the nutritional status, comorbidities, and biochemical parameters in OA with AKI. METHODS: In this prospective cohort study (July 2024-July 2025) conducted at a tertiary geriatric unit, hospitalized OA with AKI, diagnosed according to…

Nutritional Status of Children with Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Long-Term Follow-Up Study.

Nutritional status was classified using BMI-based criteria from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics/American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition and the World Health Organization. RESULTS: Among 50 patients, 20% presented with impaire…

Nutritional status in pediatric celiac disease: evaluation at diagnosis and during follow-up.

INTRODUCTION: Celiac disease (CD) is a lifelong immune-mediated condition precipitated by gluten ingestion in genetically predisposed individuals, resulting in intestinal mucosal damage, impaired growth, micronutrient deficiencies, among other gastrointestinal and extraintestinal symptoms. A gluten-free diet (GFD) contributes to the healing of the mucosa and improves nutrient absorption, although recovery patterns may vary. AIM: The present study aimed to determine changes in anthropometric parameters and micronutrient levels at diagnosis and at six and twelve months following the start of a

Micronutrient Deficiencies and Nutritional Status in Children with Celiac Disease: A Retrospective Study.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion, and the only effective treatment is strict adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD). Many factors, including limited dietary diversity and poor adherence, are associated with an increased risk of specific micronutrient deficiencies and malnutrition. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between adherence to GFD, celiac antibody levels, micronutrient levels, and nutritional status in children with CD. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted on 402 children aged 2-18 years with a…

Nutritional Status-Based Model for Predicting Low-Lactate Shock: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND: Although Sepsis-3.0 defines septic shock as hypotension with serum lactate levels >2.0 mmol/L, this criterion may miss low-lactate shock: a clinically significant phenotype characterized by hypotension but without elevated lactate levels. The epidemiological characteristics and prognostic significance of low-lactate shock remain unclear, highlighting a critical gap in current shock management models. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 3,134 patients with shock admitted to a tertiary care medical institution from January 2015 to March 2022. We used propensity sco

Nutritional Status and Dietary Challenges in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis: A Comprehensive Review.

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is seriously affected by systemic sclerosis (SSc), due to fibrosis and persistent inflammation. Patients with GI involvement frequently exhibit poor nutritional status, which affects disease burden and quality of life. The aim of the present review was to discuss all nutritional issues in SSc and serve as a primer for the nutritional assessment of patients with scleroderma. Patients with SSc suffer from GI impairments that affect the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines. Symptomatology includes microstomia, xerostomia, dysphagia, reflu…

Nutritional status and frailty in rheumatoid arthritis: A multicenter observational study (T-FLAG).

OBJECTIVE: Frailty is a relevant clinical issue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, particularly as the population ages.
