Corrigendum to "Time to act! - A cross-sectional study on how nutritional risk increases during hospitalization and associates with worse" published in Clinical Nutrition ESPEN 2023 Oct;57:364-374.

The authors regret to inform you that we have detected some incorrect values in the Tables 4–6 in our article, and we kindly request a pertinent correction. The main error in the results is that the LOS in nutritionally risk patients was 2.1 day longer instead of 5.6, which is incorrectly stated also in the Abstract. However, all the p-values are correct. The erroneous parts in the tables were constructed during the review process when “Days from admission to screening” was included into multivariable analyses as appropriately requested by one of the Reviewers. These analyses were performed correctly but unintentionally some of the values in Tables 4–6 were not correctly reported after the requested reanalysis.Table 4Univariable and multivariable generalized linear models to assess the association between patient characteristics and the length of stay.LOS (days)Univariable analysesMultivariable analysisAdjustedFactornGMRGM (95% CI)p-valueGM (95% CI)RGM (95% CI)p-valueNutritional riskNo21326.4Ref.11.6 (11.112.2)Ref.Yes92111.11.73 (1.63–1.84)<0.00113.9 (13.314.7)1.20 (1.15–1.25)<0.001Gender*Men15618.0Ref.Women14927.10.90 (0.84–0.95)<0.001Days from admission to screening1-2 days10233.8Ref.5.1 (4.8–5.4)Ref.3-7 days12317.62.03 (1.94–2.13)<0.0019.4 (9.0–9.9)1.87 (1.78–1.96)<0.0018-14 days53414.13.76 (3.54–3.99)<0.00116.5 (15.5–17.5)3.26 (3.07–3.45)<0.001> 14 days26530.48.12 (7.52–8.77)<0.00133.4 (31.1–35.9)6.60 (6.10–7.14)<0.001ICU stayNo28847.2Ref.10.8 (10.5–11.1)Ref.Yes16916.82.33 (2.05–2.65)<0.00115.0 (13.8–16.3)1.39 (1.27–1.51)<0.001No. of diagnoses1-318496.5Ref.12.0 (11.5–12.6)Ref.≥ 412049.41.44 (1.35–1.53)<0.00113.5 (12.8–14.2)1.12 (1.08–1.17)<0.001Mode of arrivalOther**58710.3Ref.14.1 (13.3–14.9)Ref.Elective13828.70.84 (0.77–0.91)<0.00113.0 (12.3–13.7)0.92 (0.87–0.98)0.005Emergency10845.90.57 (0.53–0.62)<0.00111.3 (10.8–11.9)0.80 (0.76–0.85)<0.001LOS, length of stay, logarithmically transformed before analysis; GM, geometric mean; RGM, ratio of geometric means; Nutritional risk, NRS≥3; ICU, intensive care unit;Ref., reference group*Adding gender did not have statistical significance to multivariable model.**Other = Patient arrived at the hospital either from other hospital or from outpatient clinic, or from another ward.

Time to act! - A cross-sectional study on how nutritional risk increases during hospitalization and associates with worse outcomeClinical Nutrition ESPENVol. 57PreviewNutritional risk is prevalent, and it develops negatively during hospital stay. The aim of this cohort study was to assess the association of nutritional risk with total costs of hospital care, length of stay, and in-hospital mortality. Full-Text PDF Open Access
