To examine Mini-Nutritional Assessment short form (MNA-SF) and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) as prognostic indicators of postoperative complications, length of hospital stay (LOS), readmissions, mobility, living arrangements and mortality after hip fracture. ⋯ MNA-SF is superior to NRS2002 in predicting short-term hip fracture outcomes.

Body composition assessment by computed tomography (CT) is increasingly used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in various patient groups. This study aimed to compare the reliability and validity of a newly in-house developed segmentation software VikingSlice against a commercial software (SliceOMatic) for quantification of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle cross-sectional areas (CSA). ⋯ The in-house developed software VikingSlice was fast and showed good reliability that is comparable with commercial software in its utility to estimate adipose tissue and skeletal muscle CSAs.
