Popis:	The nutritional status of 926 patients (51.4% female) at an acute tertiary private hospital with a length of stay ≥14 days was assessed using Subjective Global Assessment. The prevalence of malnutrition was 42.5% (37.2% length of stay of 14-27 days, 51.6% ≥28 days). From logistic regression analysis, length of stay and age were independent predictors of malnutrition. It is important that the nutritional status of longer stay patients is monitored and appropriate nutrition support is commenced.
