MNA screening has a solid correlation and predictive significance regarding postoperative mortality-therefore routine implementation of this screening in orthopedic/traumatology wards is recommended. Moreover, nutritional substitution therapy can offer a relatively inexpensive and easy-to-implement measure. The Graz malnutrition screening (GMS) shows moderate predictive power and could be considered as an alternative for patients under 60 years of age. A higher albumin level is associated with improved survival probability, but cannot be indicative of nutritional status.
