Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Age more than 18 years - ICU stay is anticipated to be more than 48 hours - Availability of complete clinical data (e.g., APACHE II and SOFA scores), anthropometric measurements (height, weight, BMI), and laboratory parameters (such as CRP) required to apply GLIM, SGA, NRS-2002, and mNUTRIC criteria.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Pregnant or lactating women - ICU readmission during the same hospital stay - Incomplete or missing data that preclude the application of nutritional assessment tools

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the diagnostic performance of GLIM criteria (alone and in combination with NRS-2002 and mNUTRIC) for identifying malnutrition in critically ill ICU patients, using Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) as the reference standard.Timepoint: 28 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To assess the prevalence of malnutrition identified by GLIM, GLIM + NRS-2002, and GLIM + mNUTRIC. 2. To evaluate the agreement between each diagnostic method (GLIM, GLIM + NRS-2002, and GLIM + mNUTRIC) and the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), used as the reference standard. 3. To compare the predictive validity of GLIM, GLIM + NRS-2002, and GLIM + mNUTRIC with ICU outcomes: a. ICU length of stay b. ICU and 28-day mortality c. Duration of mechanical ventilation d. Duration of Vasopressor requirement Timepoint: 28 days
