Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	prevalence of malnutrition on admission detected by the four nutritional screening tools	The measure of prevalence of malnutrition on admission is a composite outcome measure. In our study, we used four nutritional screening tools: MUST(malnutrition universal screening tool), SGA(subjective global assessment), MNA-SF(mini-nutritional assessment-short form) and NRS2002(nutritional risk screening 2002) to assess the malnutrition risk among Chinese hospitalized patients.	up to 4 weeks	No
