Talk Description
KDOQI Clinical Practice Guidelines recommend biannual nutrition screening for patients on haemodialysis. Routine nutrition screening at the Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH) satellite dialysis units is not routine care and the nutrition risk profile in this cohort is unknown. Malnutrition is associated with decreased quality-of-life, and higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Effective nutrition risk identification will ensure timely access to nutrition care.
