0% of patients with actual muscle mass depletion and/or impaired muscle function would not have been selected for further nutritional evaluation.

CONCLUSIONS In our population the efficacy of a clinical screening tool for malnutrition was unsatisfactory. A detailed nutritional assessment is therefore recommended in all patients undergoing
