Paediatric malnutrition during hospital admission is a prevalent comorbidity, which it is estimated around 31.4% in our environment, and could influence the clinical outcomes of paediatric patients. ⋯ Nearly 50% of hospitalised children have a high risk of malnutrition at admission according to the STAMP screening tool. Risk of malnutrition at admission measured according to STAMP nutritional screening was associated with a longer length of stay and greater severity of illness. It is important to evaluate the risk of malnutrition as this could be related to illness severity.
