Abstract

Background. Neurological diseases have a high prevalence in hospitalized patients, with varying prognoses influenced by several factors, one of which is the patient's nutritional status. Therefore, a nutritional assessment is necessary to early detect the risk of malnutrition in neurology inpatients and to assist in the development and implementation of nutritional intervention plans.
