Conclusion: The SGA appears to be a reliable bedside assessment tool for malnutrition and malnutrition-related dysfunction. Patients classified malnourished according to the SGA have an impaired functional status. Every effort should be made to provide both nutritional and physical therapy in order to improve the patients' outcome.
