This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between Oral Assessment Guide (OAG) scores and malnutrition in newly hospitalized patients. A total of 880 hospitalized adults were enrolled. Hypoalbuminemia was defined as serum albumin less than 3.5 g/dL. Patients with hypoalbuminemia were older (P < 0.001), had a higher prevalence of respiratory diseases (P < 0.01), a higher prevalence of digestive diseases (P < 0.01), a lower prevalence of oral feeding (P < 0.001), a lower body mass index (P < 0.001), and higher OAG scores (P < 0.001) than those without hypoalbuminemia. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that the prevalence of hypoalbuminemia was significantly related to age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.05, P < 0.001), absence of oral feeding (OR = 2.72, P < 0.001), presence of respiratory diseases (OR = 2.53, P < 0.01), presence of digestive diseases (OR = 1.64, P < 0.01), and OAG scores (OR = 1.14, P < 0.01). Regarding OAG scores, the OR of hypoalbuminemia was greater in patients with disorders (scores 2 or 3) of swallowing (vs. score 1, OR = 1.83, P < 0.05) and saliva (vs. score 1, OR = 1.51, P < 0.05). There appears to be a positive association between OAG scores and hypoalbuminemia in hospitalized patients.

新住院患者的口服评估指南评分与低白蛋白血症之间的关系。

这项横断面研究调查了新住院患者的口腔评估指南（OAG）评分与营养不良之间的关系。共有880名住院成人入组。低白蛋白血症定义为血清白蛋白低于3.5 g / dL。低白蛋白血症患者年龄较大（P <0.001），呼吸系统疾病的患病率较高（P <0.01），消化系统疾病的患病率较高（P <0.01），口服食物的患病率较低（P <0.001），较低体重指数（P <0.001）和OAG得分（P <0.001）高于无低白蛋白血症者。多元逻辑回归分析表明，低白蛋白血症的患病率与年龄（比值比[OR] = 1.05，P <0.001），无口服喂养（OR = 2.72，P <0.001），呼吸系统疾病（OR = 2。53，P <0.01），存在消化系统疾病（OR = 1.64，P <0.01）和OAG评分（OR = 1.14，P <0.01）。关于OAG评分，吞咽障碍（得分1或OR = 1.83，P <0.05）和唾液（得分1或OR = 1.51，P <0.05）的患者（白蛋白2或3）的低白蛋白血症OR更高。 0.05）。住院患者的OAG评分与低白蛋白血症之间似乎呈正相关。
