Prospective Study to Quantify the Change in Weight at a Pneumonia

• Conditions: Hospitalisation for Pneumonia

• Registration Number: NCT02844010
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Grenoble

Brief Summary

This study is based on the change in weight of hospitalized patients knowing that the diagnosis of malnutrition based on the presence of at least one clinical or laboratory test which anthropometric measures (Evaluation of diagnostic protein energy malnutrition in hospitalized adults ANAES , Guidelines Department, September 2003; HAS Strategy supported in cases of wasting energy and protein in the elderly April 2007).

The goal of this study is to find the correlation between hospitalization and weight loss, significant risk factors for malnutrition in a situation of community-acquired pneumonia infection.
