Özet

Background The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of malnutrition in outpatients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and the utility of nutrition screening tools to detect malnutrition in these patients. Methods Fifty outpatients with CVID were included in the study. Nutrition risk for each patient was evaluated using four nutrition screening tools: Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST), Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ), and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002). Results According to MUST, MST, SNAQ, and NRS-2002, malnutrition risk was determined to be 48% (n = 24), 26% (n = 13), 20% (n = 10), and 20% (n = 10), respectively. Malnutrition was detected in 54% (n = 27) of the patients. It was found that MUST showed a better correlation in detecting malnutrition in outpatients with CVID (kappa = 0.482, P = 0.001). MUST has a higher positive and negative predictive value than other nutrition screening tools (79% and 70%, respectively). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, it was found that low serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels at diagnosis increased the risk of malnutrition by similar to 15 times, and low CD19(+) B-cell counts increased the risk by approximately eight times. Conclusion The prevalence of malnutrition in patients with CVID was found to be quite high, and there was a strong correlation between malnutrition and low CD19(+) B-cell counts and low serum IgA levels. Given the high rate of malnutrition in patients with CVID, nutrition assessment is recommended rather than starting with nutrition screening.
