SNAQ – Simplified Nutrition Assessment Questionnaire, LOS – hospital length of stay, ECW/ICW ratio – extracellular water/intracellular water ratio, ECM/BCM – extracellular mass/body cell mass ratio, BCM – body cell mass; values are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) (continuous variables) or median and range (variables without normal distribution). Statistically significant differences p < 0.05.
