      abstract = {Conclusions. The high prevalence of malnutrition among  recently admitted hospitalized pediatric and adult patients  determined in this study reinforces the need for a tool to  identify risk of malnutrition among pediatric and adult  patients admitted to Lao hospitals. Our results also  indicate that implementing a nutrition risk screening tool  in the national hospitals in Vientiane, Lao PDR is  feasible. Nutrition screening and efforts to address  hospital-based malnutrition may be more important in  certain wards with high rates of malnutrition such as the  diabetes, pulmonary, internal medicine, and infectious  disease wards. Timely identification of malnutrition among  newly admitted hospitalized patients will help minimize  adverse patient health outcomes and reduce the economic  burden of healthcare in Lao, PDR.},
