    Abstract:

    Background The aim of this study was to assess the value of Nutritional risk screening-2002 (NRS-2002) as a Nutritional risk screening and Status Assessment method and to compare it with Nutritional Status assessed by subjective and objective methods in the screening of head and neck cancer patients. Methods Sixty-five consecutive patients (50 male), with a median age of 61 years (range, 33–77), with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) were enrolled prior to cancer therapy. Nutritional Status was assessed by NRS-2002, patient-generated subjective global Assessment (PG-SGA), handgrip strength (HGS) and mid-arm muscle area (MAMA). Results Twenty-eight percent of patients were at Nutritional risk based on NRS-2002, and 34 % were malnourished according to PG-SGA, while 43 % had low HGS. NRS-2002 cut-off score of ≥3 compared with the Nutritional Status according to PG-SGA showed 77 % specificity and 98 % sensitivity ( K  = 0.78). NRS-2002 was able to predict malnutrition (PG-SGA BC) both in men ( p
