Resumen
El objetivo del estudio es evaluar la evolución del estado nutricional de los pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados. Estudio de enfoque cuantitativo, cualitativo, tipo analítico, retrospectivo y de corte transversal, que analizó todos los pacientes internados en el Hospital de Especialidades Francisco Icaza Bustamante entre el 1 de mayo del 2017 hasta el 31 de mayo del 2018. Se encontró que después de 1 semana de internación el 28% del total de pacientes presentó una pérdida significativa de peso del 1-2% y el 15% de los pacientes presentaron pérdida severa de peso > al 2%. En los pacientes que ingresaron con diagnóstico de desnutrición se observó que la perdida severa de peso representó el 65%. Se concluye que existe relación estadísticamente significativa entre la pérdida de peso durante la internación hospitalaria con el diagnóstico de ingreso (p=0,001). Se recomienda realizar un cribado nutricional al ingreso hospitalario.

In the group of patients with severe weight loss it was observed that 65% entered with a diagnosis of malnutrition.
