背景:国王基金会和英国肠外和肠内营养协会建议所有住院患者都应该记录身高和体重,以确定是否需要营养支持。系统回顾证据还表明,在各种情况下,在医院补充蛋白质和能量可以改善结果。目的:评估医院体重和身高的记录。设计:调查(随机抽样)方法:作为提供深静脉血栓预防措施的调查的一部分,我们从医疗和护理记录中收集有关身高和体重记录的信息。我们从苏格兰各地随机选择了五名内科、五名外科、五名矫形外科和五名妇产科主任。600个案例笔记被要求,其中88%可用于数据提取。约67%的医院事件提供了有关体重的信息,41%的患者提供了有关身高和体重的信息。普通内科主任的体重记录最低,内科和外科主任的体重和身高记录与其他两个主任相比很少记录(p
Background: The King's Fund and British Association of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition recommend that all hospital patients should have height and weight recorded, to detect the need for nutritional support. Systematic review evidence also suggests that protein and energy supplementation of adults in hospital with a wide range of conditions improves outcome.Aim: To assess the recording of weight and height in hospitals.Design: Survey (random sample).Methods: As part of a survey on the provision of deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis, we collected information on height and weight recording from medical and nursing notes.

General medicine directorates had the lowest recording of weight, and in medical and surgical directorates, both weight and height were rarely recorded in comparison with the other two directorates (p
