Abstract
Background: Malnutrition, which occurs at the time of hospitalization or develops during follow-up, has a negative effect on patients in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). In our study, we aimed to determine the malnutrition status at the time of hospitalization, the relationship of malnutrition status at hospitalization with mortality scores, as well as the changes in malnutrition status during hospitalization in PICU.
Materials and Methods: Patients aged between 1 month and 18 years, who were hospitalized and followed up in PICU of our hospital for at least 7 days between January and June 2016, were included in our study. Pediatric Nutritional Risk Score (PNRS) scores were compared with Gomez and Waterlow scores when patients were discharged from the PICU.
Results: Our study has included total 102 patients, weight loss was detected in 33 (32.3%) of the patients compared to hospitalization, while weight gain was detected in 44 (43.1%) patients. We detected newly developed malnutrition both at the time of admission and during the PICU follow-up. Patients with malnutrition at the time of discharge had a high PNRS score at admission.
Conclusions: In conclusion, the malnutrition status and risk situations of patients should be determined and patient-specific nutritional strategies applied from the beginning of treatment in PICU.

Abstract
Amaç: Hastanede yatış sırasında ortaya çıkan veya izlem sırasında gelişen malnütrisyon, çocuk yoğun bakım ünitesindeki (ÇYBÜ) hastaları olumsuz etkilemektedir. Çalışmamızda, ÇYBÜ'nde yatış anındaki malnütrisyon durumunu, yatıştaki malnütrisyon durumunun mortalite skorları ile ilişkisini ve ÇYBÜ'nde yatışı sırasında malnütrisyon durumundaki değişiklikleri belirlemeyi amaçladık.
Materyal ve Metod: Çalışmamıza Ocak-Haziran 2016 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz ÇYBÜ'nde yatarak en az 7 gün takip edilen 1 ay-18 yaş arası hastalar dahil edildi. Pediatrik Nutrisyonel Risk Skoru (PNRS), ÇYBÜ'nden taburcu olduklarında hesaplanan Gomez ve Waterlow skorları ile karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışmamıza toplam 102 hasta dahil edilmiş olup, hastaların 33'ünde (%32.3) hastaneye yatışa göre kilo kaybı, 44'ünde (%43.1) kilo artışı saptanmıştır. Hem başvuru anında hem de ÇYBÜ takibinde yeni gelişen malnütrisyon saptandı. Taburculuk sırasında malnütrisyonlu olan hastaların başvuru sırasında yüksek PNRS skoru vardı.
Sonuç: Çocuk yoğun bakım ünitesinde tedavinin başlangıcından itibaren hastaların malnütrisyon durumu ile risk durumları belirlenmeli ve hastaya özel beslenme stratejileri uygulanmalıdır.
