Nutritional risk screening is the basis of clinical nutrition management to identify children with nutritional risk and to formulate nutritional support treatment prescriptions with the help of nutritional assessment. In 2022, the National Health Commission issued the guidelines for the construction and management of the clinical nutrition department, which put forward the work for nutrition screening and nutrition assessment, and further standardized the clinical application of nutrition screening and malnutrition diagnosis.
