The prevalence of "at-risk" patients (NRS 2002 scores of 3+) was highest in patients with cardiac conditions (31.5%) and lowest in patients with diseases of the respiratory system (6.9%). Controlling for sex, age, education, type of insurance, smoking status, the main diagnosed disease, and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), the multivariate analysis showed that the NRS 2002 score = 3 [hazard ratio (HR): 1.376, 95% CI: 1.031-1.836] were associated with approximately a 1.5-fold higher likelihood of death. NRS 2002 scores = 4 (HR: 1.982, 95% CI: 1.491-2.633) and NRS scores ≥ 5 (HR: 1.982, 95% CI: 1.498-2.622) were associated with a 2-fold higher likelihood of death, compared with NRS 2002 scores <3. An NRS 2002 score of 3 (percentage change: 16.4, 95% CI: 9.6-23.6), score of 4 (32.4, 95% CI: 24-41.4), and scores of ≥ 5 (36.8, 95% CI 28.3-45.8) were associated with a significantly (16.4, 32.4, and 36.8%, respectively) higher likelihood of increased LoS compared with an NRS 2002 scores <3. The NRS 2002 score = 3 group (17.8, 95% CI: 8.6-27.7) was associated with a 17.8%, the NRS 2002 score = 4 group (31.1, 95% CI: 19.8-43.5) a 31.1%, and the NRS 2002 score ≥ 5 group (44.3, 95% CI: 32.3-57.4) a 44.3%, higher likelihood of increased hospital costs compared with a NRS 2002 scores <3 group. Specifically, the most notable mortality-specific comorbidity and LoS-specific comorbidity was injury, while the most notable cost-specific comorbidity was diseases of the digestive system. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the high burden of undernutrition at the time of hospital admission on the health and hospital cost outcomes for older immobile inpatients. These findings underscore the need for nutritional risk screening in all Chinese hospitalized patients, and improved diagnosis, treatment, and nutritional support to improve immobile patient outcomes and to reduce healthcare costs.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:45:14 AEDT ]]> Preferences for hearing aid attributes among people with moderate or greater hearing loss in rural china: a discrete choice experiment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45144 Wed 26 Oct 2022 19:11:38 AEDT ]]> Medical Service Utilization and Direct Medical Cost of Stroke in Urban China https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45188 Wed 26 Oct 2022 14:46:49 AEDT ]]> Estimated annual prevalence, medical service utilization and direct costs of lung cancer in urban China https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44985 Wed 26 Oct 2022 09:07:37 AEDT ]]> Socioeconomic inequality in Hepatitis B vaccination of rural adults in China https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41358 Wed 13 Mar 2024 18:29:20 AEDT ]]> Regional disparities in health care resources in traditional Chinese medicine county hospitals in China https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40473 Wed 13 Mar 2024 09:38:53 AEDT ]]> Depressive symptoms, health behaviors and risk of diabetes in Chinese mid-aged and older adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47639 OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 1.01, 1.02), indicating that depressive symptoms patients with two or more unhealthy behaviors had a higher risk of diabetes compared with their peers without unhealthy behaviors. Conclusion: Our findings suggested that depressive symptoms were a risk factor in developing diabetes, and that response to this factor varied by individuals' health behaviors. Clinicians should be aware of increased risk of elevated diabetes in population with depressive symptoms and consider routine screening for depressive symptoms among them.]]> Tue 24 Jan 2023 14:38:11 AEDT ]]> Length of Stay, Hospital Costs and Mortality Associated With Comorbidity According to the Charlson Comorbidity Index in Immobile Patients After Ischemic Stroke in China: A National Study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47080 Tue 13 Dec 2022 16:28:32 AEDT ]]> Behavioral differences in the preference for hepatitis B virus vaccination: a discrete choice experiment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38888 Thu 24 Feb 2022 16:17:41 AEDT ]]> Cost-effectiveness of an intervention to improve the quality of nursing care among immobile patients with stroke in China: a multicenter study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38928 Mon 28 Mar 2022 12:34:07 AEDT ]]> "The biggest reform to China's health system": did the zero-markup drug policy achieve its goal at traditional Chinese medicines county hospitals? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36510 Mon 25 May 2020 12:43:47 AEST ]]> Is Traditional Chinese Medicine "Mainstream" in China?
