Clinically speaking: Adapt practices for new malnutrition definition

by Richard Pinson, MD, FACP, CCS and Cynthia Tang, RHIA, CCS
The clinical world now has a new set of criteria for malnutrition, thanks to representatives from the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN), the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism, the Latin American Nutritional Federation, and the Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Society of Asia who published “Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) Criteria for the Diagnosis of Malnutrition: A Consensus Report From the Global Clinical Nutrition Community,” on September 2, in the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition.
