One out of 5 patients included in this study was nutritionally at risk. Using propensity score matching, higher odds of in-hospital mortality, readmission, and 30-d mortality were observed. In contrast to oft-reported increased length of stay with poor nutrition, propensity matched data for jLoS suggested that this association was less pronounced in this cohort.
