Nutrition assessment can be challenging in children with end-stage organ disease and in those requiring an organ transplant. The effect of poor nutrition status can exert long-lasting effects on children with end-stage organ disease requiring transplantation. Malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty are conditions that require provision of optimal nutrition to prevent or support the treatment of these conditions. Unfortunately, the literature on the assessment of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty in pediatric end-stage organ disease is scarce, thus leading to confusion on how to effectively identify them. Recently, the addition of a variety of validated nutrition and functional assessment techniques has assisted with appropriate assessment of these conditions. The objective of this narrative review is to provide an overview of the current literature for pediatric assessment of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty in the setting of solid organ transplantation and provide practicing nutrition clinicians a solid foundation for learning how to effectively assess these conditions with the current literature available.

儿科移植中的营养不良、肌肉减少症和衰弱评估

对于患有终末期器官疾病和需要器官移植的儿童来说，营养评估可能具有挑战性。营养状况不佳会对患有终末期器官疾病需要移植的儿童产生长期影响。营养不良、肌肉减少症和虚弱是需要提供最佳营养来预防或支持这些病症的治疗的病症。不幸的是，关于评估儿科终末期器官疾病营养不良、肌肉减少症和虚弱的文献很少，因此导致了如何有效识别它们的混乱。最近，增加了各种经过验证的营养和功能评估技术，有助于对这些状况进行适当的评估。本叙述性综述的目的是概述实体器官移植背景下儿科营养不良、肌少症和虚弱评估的现有文献，并为执业营养临床医生学习如何有效评估这些状况奠定坚实的基础。当前可用的文献。
