What does the malnutrition care score measure?

Up to half of all adults admitted to a hospital may be malnourished or at risk, impacting recovery and health outcomes. This makes understanding measures like the Malnutrition Care Score (MCS) critical for both patients and healthcare providers. The Malnutrition Care Score assesses the percentage of hospitalizations for adults, measuring if they receive comprehensive and optimal malnutrition care based on evidence-based guidelines.
