Disclaimer: This screening tool is based on established nutritional assessment criteria but does not replace a clinical evaluation by a registered dietitian or healthcare professional. Results should be discussed with your medical team, especially if you have active IBD.
Why Screen for Malnutrition?
Up to 85% of hospitalised IBD patients experience some degree of malnutrition. Early screening helps identify those at risk before complications arise.
Key Risk Factors in IBD
Active inflammation, bowel resections, restricted diets, and medications like corticosteroids can all contribute to nutritional deficiencies in IBD patients.
What to Do Next
If you score as medium or high risk, share these results with your gastroenterologist or dietitian. They can arrange further assessment and a tailored nutrition plan.
