Defining Malnutrition in the NICU: The
BeginningEmily Trumpower RD, CSP, CNSCBrie Carlson, MPH, RD, CSP
University of MichiganC.S. Mott Children’s Hospital Ann Arbor, MI
Goals and Objectives Goal:
To provide a better understanding of what our NICU is doing in terms of diagnosis of malnutrition and how we are doing it
Objectives: Learn what criteria we use for diagnosis Know what type of data collection may be
necessary in order to move closer to collective process for diagnosis

A.S.P.E.N Abstract- 2015 CNWMeans ± SD of the population
N=142Gestational Age (Weeks)
29 ± 2.77
Birthweight (g) 1151 ± 270
LOS (days) 69.5 ± 47
Weight Gain (g/day) during LOS
22.8 ± 5.6
Admit Z-Score for weight

Discharge Z-Score for weight
-1.37(calculated value)
Delta Z-score for weight (DZ)

Why? We wanted benchmarking and comparison data What were we interested in evaluating?
• Comorbidities• Malnutrition (using MTool™)
Methods: • Inclusion:
• Vermont Oxford Network database• Inborn, 2012-2013• <1500g at birth• Weights included only
Comparisons:• Weight z-scores at birth, discharge,
and then delta z-score (change from birth to discharge)
• Values compared to MTool™ criteria for malnutrition• -1 to -1.99 (at risk/mild), -2 to -
2.99 (moderate), and <=-3 (severe)
• Example: z-score of -2.5=> moderate
• Z-scores vs. CLD, PDA, NEC/bowel surgery, and PIH
ASPEN Abstract- 2015 CNW Other results using MTool™
Were more diagnosed cases of malnutrition using discharge z-score for weight vs. delta z-score for weight• 52% of mild, moderate, or
severe malnutrition at discharge using z-score vs. 38% using delta z-score
• P value of <0.01
Correlation resultsUsing malnutrition diagnosis coding based on delta z-scores and discharge z-scores, there was less weight gain (g/d) overtime in the malnutrition diagnosis group P-value 0.01
Using malnutrition diagnosis coding based on delta z-score, there was a longer LOS associated in the malnutrition diagnosis group P-value 0.024
Using malnutrition diagnosis coding based on delta z-score, there were more NEC/bowel surgery diagnoses in the malnutrition group P-value 0.021
Using malnutrition diagnosis coding based on lower birth z-score, there was a longer LOS associated with a malnutrition diagnosis P-value 0.006
CLD, PIH, & PDA did not correlate w/any malnutrition data
Our current usage of the MTool™ in the NICU Mehta paper did not include preterm infants or
any infants < 1mo old We track z-scores and delta z-scores weekly
after 1 month At 44 weeks CGA, we will diagnose malnutrition
using the MTool™ for illness related malnutrition Former 25 weeker who is now corrected to 44
weeks could confer a severe malnutrition diagnosis based on a length z-score of -3
Exclusionary criteria that we use right now are congenital disorders
How can we define malnutrition in the preterm infant population??
Questions yet to answer Is there a z-score or a delta z-score that would correlate
with poor outcomes (increased co-morbidities)? Would a Delta z-score be more appropriate for
assessing malnutrition in NICU patients? How would this affect the current practices of using
MTool™ at 44 weeks correction? At what point during life is the most appropriate time to
consider “nadir” of growth loss in order to calculate an appropriate Delta-Z? Do we use the “nadir” weight z-score or the birth weight z-
score? How do intakes of energy and protein, specifically in the
first 28 days, effect overall growth through out NICU admission, and later admissions when they are older?
Pilot Data Began collecting in the beginning of 2015 Hoping for a n = 50 before the end of the year All patients <28 weeks at birth Collecting:
Demographic data Z-scores at birth for all parameters Z-scores at 14 and 28 days of life Z-scores at the time of discharge Delta Z between Birth-Discharge, 14-DOL and discharge, and 28-
DOL and discharge Co-morbidities including BPD; home w/O2, IVH, ROP, NEC,
extrauterine growth failure as defined by <10th% at discharge Compounding factors:
Persistent hyperglycemia, receiving hydrocortisone in the first 28 days, use of DART protocol, TPN days, days to full feedings, existence of PDA or other CHD (such as ASD/VSD), multiple gestations

Summary Goal is to have the data finalize by
beginning 2016 Hoping to develop a tool that will help to
evaluate malnutrition in the specialized population
Will need validation studies with use of the tool in other NICUs
