Abstract

Hospital-acquired malnutrition significantly impacts patient outcomes, healthcare costs, and morbidity and mortality rates. Despite its prevalence, it often remains underdiagnosed and undertreated in hospitalized patients. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional interventions in preventing and treating hospital-acquired malnutrition among hospitalized adult patients, focusing on recent interventional studies and clinical trials to inform clinical practice and healthcare policy.
