Abstract：Objective To assess the value of Screening Tool for the Assessment of Malnutrition in Pediatrics (STAMP) in nutritional risk screening in children with respiratory diseases.Methods A total of 395 children with respiratory diseases,including 189 cases of pneumonia,102 cases of bronchitis,71 cases of upper respiratory tract infection and 33 cases of other respiratory diseases (laryngitis,stomatitis and herpangina,etc.) admitted to the People's Hospital of Rugao,Jiangsu Province from January to December 2018 were included.Nutritional risk was screened by STAMP and the testing results were evaluated.Results Among 395 children with respiratory diseases,264 cases(66.8％) had medium to high nutritional risk;72 cases(18.2％) had high nutritional risk.Rates of medium to high nutritional risk in children with bronchitis,pneumonia,upper respiratory tract infection and other respiratory diseases were 55.9％ (57/102),66.1％ (125/189),77.5％ (55/71) and 81.8％ (27/33);there was a significant difference among them (x2 =10.784,P =0.013).Children with pneumonia showed the largest rate of high nutritional risk[20.1％ (38/189)].Conclusions Nutritional risk is serious in children with respiratory diseases.Nutritional risk screening using STAMP is necessary.
