Comparison of Nutritional Status Assessment Using MST (Malnutrition Screening Tool) and SGA (Subjective Global Assessment) in Assessing Nutritional Status Against the Injury Occurrence in the Patient in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Room Achmad Mochtar Hospital
 Patients in intensive space have the right to get special attention due to metabolic changes that have an impact on nutritional status. Critical patients will experience an increase in metabolism as the body's response to disease. Assessment of nutritional status must be carried out routinely in the hospital, including in the ICU.

The assessment must be early, simple, based on current science and can be adapted in the clinical environment. The American Society of Parenteral and Enteral (ASPEN) recommends assessing nutritional status or nutritional screening tools in patients treated by using Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). Another measure of nutritional status assessment that can be used is the Malnutrition Screening Tools (MST).
