A Cost-Consequence Analysis of Nutritional Interventions Used in Hospital Settings for Older Adults with or at Risk of Malnutrition

Malnutrition is a significant and prevalent issue in hospital settings, associated with increased morbidity and mortality, longer hospital stays, higher readmission rates, and greater healthcare costs. Despite the potential impact of nutritional interventions on patient outcomes, there is a paucity...

description Malnutrition is a significant and prevalent issue in hospital settings, associated with increased morbidity and mortality, longer hospital stays, higher readmission rates, and greater healthcare costs. Despite the potential impact of nutritional interventions on patient outcomes, there is a paucity of research focusing on their economic evaluation in the hospital setting. This study aims to fill this gap by conducting a cost-consequence analysis (CCA) of nutritional interventions targeting malnutrition in the hospital setting. We performed a CCA using data from recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses, focusing on older adult patients with or at risk of malnutrition in the hospital setting. The analysis included outcomes such as 30-day, 6-month, and 12-month mortality; 30-day and 6-month readmissions; hospital complications; length of stay; and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the impact of varying success rates in treating malnutrition and the proportions of malnourished patients seen by dietitians in SingHealth institutions. The CCA indicated that 28.15 DALYs were averted across three SingHealth institutions due to the successful treatment or prevention of malnutrition by dietitians from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022, for an estimated 45,000 patients. The sensitivity analyses showed that the total DALYs averted ranged from 21.98 (53% success rate) to 40.03 (100% of malnourished patients seen by dietitians). The cost of implementing a complex nutritional intervention was USD 218.72 (USD 104.59, USD 478.40) per patient during hospitalization, with additional costs of USD 814.27 (USD 397.69, USD 1212.74) when the intervention was extended for three months post-discharge and USD 638.77 (USD 602.05, USD 1185.90) for concurrent therapy or exercise interventions. Nutritional interventions targeting malnutrition in hospital settings can have significant clinical and economic benefits. The CCA provides valuable insights into the costs and outcomes associated with these interventions, helping healthcare providers and policymakers to make informed decisions on resource allocation and intervention prioritization.
