  14. Malnutrition and LOS * * P<0.01

  15. Malnutrition and mortality * * P<0.01

  16. Nutrition status and mortality

  17. Malnutrition, severity-of-illness and mortality * * * * Pneumonia Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT) P<0.05

  18. At risk in the community • Chronic disease • COPD • Cardiac failure • Cirrhosis • Cancer • Post hospitalization • Elderly • Cognitive impairments • Low socioeconomic group
