Abstract：Objective: To investigate the incidence of nutritional risk and the status of nutritional support among inpatients in department of orthopedics. Methods: Nutritional risk screening was performed according to the NRS2002 scoring criteria. Nutritional support was divided into intervention group and non intervention group according to whether or not to accept intervention. The albumin and total protein, incidence of infection related. Albumin, total protein, incidence of infection-related complications and hospitalization time were compared between the two groups. Results: Among the 158 patients in Department of orthopedics, 52 (32.9%) had nutritional risk and 33 (20.9%) did not have nutritional support. Among the patients who had nutritional risk, there were 18 (11.4%) cases of nutritional support. Among the 52 hospitalized patients with nutritional risk in the Department of orthopedics, there was no significant difference in the total albumin and total protein between the nutrition support intervention group and the untreated group (P>0.05), and the difference of the discharged albumin intervention group was significantly higher than that of the undone group (P<0.05). The incidence of infection and complications in the nutritional support group was less than that in the non nutritional support group (P<0.05), and the time of hospitalization was also shorter than that in the non nutritional support group (t=2.86, P<0.05). Conclusion: Positive nutritional risk screening should be carried out for patients in the Department of orthopedics. Nutritional support for patients with nutritional risk can effectively improve their nutritional status and shorten the time of hospitalization.
