evaluation of the efficacy of two different age adjusted calculations of CHI compared to other nutritional indicators in the elderly medical patients upon hospital admission.
Read the detailed description
Cross sectional study involving one hundred hospitalized elderly (>60 years), Anthropometric measurements, Mini- nutritional assessment, Hand Grip strength, CBC, total protein, albumin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and 24 hour urinary creatinine excretion were measured within 24 hours of hospital admission calculation of CHI using 2 age adjusted modification was done accuracy of each measurement in detecting malnutrition was evaluated
- Conditions
- Malnutrition in Elderly
- Being tested
- 24 hour urine creatinine excretion

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Malnutrition in Elderly, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
accuracy of creatinine height index in Elderly (time frame: within 24 hours of hospital admission). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jul 2024.
