albumin, MUST and NRI found 45, 78 and 46 patients at risk of malnutrition respec- tively. The sensitivity was 71.1% and 62.2% and specificity was 73.1% and 89.5% for MUST and NRI respectively. The agreement was fair between albumin and MUST (κ=0.35, p<0.001) and moderate between albumin and NRI (κ=0.51, p<0.001). Patients at malnutrition risk, had increased LOS, as predicted by each assessment tool: albu- min (P<0.001), MUST (P<0.001) and NRI (P<0.001). ConClusions: Inexpensive and easy to use tools like MUST and NRI can be utilized in routine clinical practice for early detection and treatment of patients at risk of malnutrition as it decreases associated healthcare costs and post-operative outcomes.
