Project Name: Automated Diagnosis of Malnutrition (Nutricional Scoring) in Hospitalized Patients

Projekt Category: Data Use Project

Head of Project:

• PD Dr. med. Haiko Schlögl (University of Leipzig Medical Center)

Duration and Status: 1.11.2024 – 31.10.2025, ongoing data use

Data Types Provided: diagnoses and procedures, etc.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to determine the overall prevalence of malnutrition, its distribution across the various medical disciplines, as well as the impact that automated recording of malnutrition has on its treatment in the hospital and the resulting patient outcome. To this end, data from two university hospitals, Leipzig and Jena, will be examined as examples. A further aim is to form clusters of malnutrition in relation to the influences of main hospital diagnosis, medical department in which inpatient treatment takes place, age and gender and to investigate the resulting medical consequences in terms of treatment and therapy success.
