When to use
When to use: adult inpatients at admission and weekly while hospitalized.
How it works
Impaired nutrition (0–3) + disease severity (0–3) + age ≥70 (+1).
Key points
- 0–7.
- ≥3 at risk.
- Next: dietitian / care plan.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does NRS-2002 Nutritional Risk Screening upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is NRS-2002 Nutritional Risk Screening calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: Impaired nutritional status Mild (1), Severity of disease (stress metabolism) Mild (1), Age ≥70 years No (0) → Result: NRS-2002 2 /7（Cue: <3 — not currently at risk by NRS-2002; rescreen weekly in hospital） Inputs: Impaired nutritional status Normal (0), Severity of disease (stress metabolism) Normal requirements (0), Age ≥70 years No (0) → Result: NRS-2002 0 /7（Cue: <3 — not currently at risk by NRS-2002; rescreen weekly in hospital）
