Abstract

Objective: To evaluate nutritional status of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with acute exacerbation treated at Military Hospital 103. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 66 COPD patients with acute exacerbations treated in the Internal Respiratory Center - Military Hospital103  from September 2020 to June 2021. Assessment of malnutrition status by BMI (Body Mass Index), MNA (Mini-Nutrition Assessment) and SGA (Subjective Global Assessment) scores. Results:  The proportions of malnutrition by BMI: mild (13.6%), moderate (12.1%) and severe (10.6%); by SGA: mild/moderate (34.8%) and severe (12.1%); and by MNA: suspected malnutrition with the highest rate (45.5%) and malnutrition of 10.6%. The proportion of malnutrition was highest in group D, followed by group B and group C. MNA scores detected nutritional abnormalities earlier than SGA and BMI. Conclusions: COPD patients with exacerbations are often at risk of malnutrition. The increased prevalence of malnutrition is related to the classification of ABCD subtypes of disease.
