Perfil antropométrico dos pacientes internados em um hospital universitário

Abstract

Introdução: Identificar precocemente o perfil antropométrico dos pacientes possibilita o conhecimento do estado nutricional e o planejamento de uma terapia nutricional adequada podendo reduzir o número e a gravidade das complicações e acelerar a sua recuperação. Objetivo: Identificar o perfil antropométrico dos pacientes na internação hospitalar. Métodos: Estudo observacional descritivo, com pacientes adultos e idosos, que internaram no Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre no período de julho de 2008 a dezembro de 2009. Resultados: Foram arrolados para o estudo 460 indivíduos com média de idade de 52 anos (±16,14), sendo 164 (35,7%) idosos. Dos pacientes estudados, 152 (33%) chegaram ao hospital eutróficos, 216 (47%) com sobrepeso ou obesidade e 92 (20%) desnutridos. Entre os pacientes com sobrepeso e obesidade, 10 (4,6%) estavam com obesidade mórbida (IMC>40 kg/m²); e entre os desnutridos, 14 (15,2%) estavam com desnutrição grave (IMC<16 kg/m²). Os níveis assistenciais (NA) foram determinados conforme o diagnóstico nutricional, considerando percentual de perda de peso e IMC. Dos pacientes analisados, 12 (2,6%) foram classificados como NA 1, seguido por 325 (70,7%) como NA 2, 88 (19,1%) como NA 3 e 35 (7,6%) como NA 4. Pacientes idosos apresentaram maior percentual de desnutrição (26,2% vs 16,6%) quando comparados com os pacientes < de 60 anos (p<0,014). Conclusão: A prevalência de risco e/ou desnutrição é elevada no ambiente hospitalar e demanda atenção dos profissionais da saúde responsáveis pela assistência do paciente, principalmente nos indivíduos com idade acima de 60 anos.

Background: Early identification of the anthropometric profile of patients allows the knowledge of their nutritional status and the planning of an adequate nutritional therapy, reducing the number and severity of complications and speeding their recovery. Aims: To identify the anthropometric profile of hospitalized patients Methods: A descriptive observational study, with adult and elderly patients, who were hospitalized at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre from July 2008 to December 2009. Results: We enrolled 460 subjects in the study with a mean age of 52 years (±16.14), 164 (35.7%) of which were elderly. Among the patients studied, 152 (33%) arrived at the hospital eutrophic, 216 (47%) overweight or obese, and 92 (20%) malnourished. Among the overweight and obese patients, 10 (4.6%) were morbidly obese (BMI>40 kg/m²), and among the malnourished, 14 (1w5.2%) were severely malnourished (BMI<16kg/m²). The assistance levels (AL) were determined according to the nutritional diagnosis, considering the percentage of weight and BMI. Of the patients studied, 12 (2.6%) were classified as AL 1, followed by 325 (70.7%) as AL 2, 88 (19.1%) as AL 3 and 35 (7.6%) as AL 4. Comparing nutritional status with age, it was observed that the elderly had the highest percentage of malnutrition (26.2% vs. 16.6%; p<0.014). Conclusion: The prevalence of risk and/or malnutrition is high in the hospital environment and demands the attention of health professionals responsible for patient care, especially in individuals over the age of 60 years.
