一项儿科转诊中心的营养调查显示，1/3的患者有急性营养不良的证据。129例受试者中有46例（36%）的身高体重低于标准的90%，180例受试者中有67例（37%）的手臂肌肉面积低于第15百分位数，181例受试者中有34例（19%）的三头肌皮褶厚度低于第15百分位数，137例受试者中有26例（19%）的总淋巴细胞计数低于1500。蛋白质-能量营养不良可能是美国儿科患者住院时间延长和医院获得性发病的重要原因。
A nutrition survey in a pediatric referral center revealed 1/3 of patients had evidence of acute malnutrition. Weight for height was below 90% of standard in 46 of 129 (36%), arm muscle area are below the 15th percentile in 67 of 180 (37%), triceps skinfold was below the 15th percentile in 34 of 181 (19%) and total lymphocyte count was below 1500 in 26 of 137 (19%) subjects. Protein-energy malnutrition may be an important contributor to prolonged hospitalization and hospital-acquired morbidity among USA pediatric patients.
