NRS-2002 is a validated nutrition-risk screening framework recommended for hospitalized adults. It combines undernutrition status, disease severity, and an age adjustment to identify patients likely to benefit from nutritional intervention.
Formula: NRS-2002 total = nutrition-status score + disease-severity score + age adjustment when applicable.
NRS-2002 is guideline-endorsed and validated for predicting nutrition-related outcomes in hospital settings.
Higher NRS-2002 totals indicate stronger nutrition-risk signal and need for structured nutrition care.
Use in hospital nutrition screening pathways to identify patients requiring nutrition intervention.
Scoring depends on clinical judgment of disease severity and does not replace full nutrition diagnosis.
