Abstract

Malnutrition is a highly prevalent condition in patients who are critically ill that has been previously associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The aims of this study are to describe the prevalence of malnutrition using Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and analyze the associations with clinical outcomes using original criteria or the presence of one phenotypic criterion with inflammation measured by C‐reactive protein (CRP) in patients with pneumonia and other lung manifestations who are mechanically ventilated.
