Predictive performance of GLIM with different nutritional risk screening tools in 5-year adverse health outcomes among older hospitalized patients: a comparative study.
Observational study in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGlobal Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) has proposed a two-step approach for malnutrition diagnosis: screening with any validated nutritional screening tool (NST) to identify ‘at-risk’ patients, followed by detailed nutritional assessment to diagnose malnutrition severity and grade it. Given the existence of multiple validated NSTs, this study aims to compare the predictive relationships between GLIM and different nutritional screening tools on 5-year adverse health outcomes (mortality, readmission, and falls) among elderly hospitalized patients.
methodsRetrospective, single-center, observational study from January 2015 to February 2020.A total 2001 elderly hospitalized patients. Multiple nutritional screening tools were evaluated at admission. Nutritional status was assessed using GLIM criteria.Cox regression and logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the predictive performance of GLIM criteria on 5-year adverse health outcomes (mortality, readmission, and falls).
resultsThe prevalence of malnutrition varied from 16.44% to 46.08%, depending on the nutritional screening tool used for classification. During the 5-year follow-up period, 203 patients (10.14%) died, 458 patients (22.88%) experienced at least one fall, and 995 patients (49.73%) were readmitted to hospital at least once. GLIM criteria effectively predicted 5-year mortality and readmission rates, with both GLIM and MNA-SF screening demonstrating the best predictive performance [Hazard ratios: 3.348 (2.781–4.029),Odds ratios 3.933 (2.953–5.239)].
conclusionMalnutrition identified by both GLIM and MNA-SF demonstrates robust predictive ability for mortality and readmission rates in elderly hospitalized patients. The GLIM criteria’s predictive capacity for mortality and readmission may guide interventions, holding significant implications for both clinical practice and research.
