Subject(s): Summary: Malnutrition has been recognized for its association with negative clinical outcomes in hospitalized adults for many years. In the mid-1930s, Hiram Studley observed that patients with peptic ulcer disease who lost more than 20% of their usual body weight had 10-fold greater mortality than those with less weight loss. A landmark editorial 40 years later, "The Skeleton in the Hospital Closet," by Charles Butterworth, called attention to hospital-acquired malnutrition. Yet many issues around the identification of malnutrition and effective treatment options remain unresolved.
