Overview of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. GLIM is an effort to adopt a global consensus on criteria for malnutrition diagnosis. It does not exclude the use of other nutrition assessment tools to guide individualized care and treatment. As such, GLIM is to be used alongside nutrition screening and assessment. Phenotypic and etiologic criteria were derived from commonly used nutrition screening and assessment tools. Malnutrition diagnosis is based on the identification of one phenotypic and one etiologic criterion. When present, severity of malnutrition is then determined. ³⁵ , ³⁶ BMI, body mass index; CNST, Canadian Nutrition Screening Tool; MNA, Mini Nutritional Assessment; MNA‐SF, Mini Nutritional Assessment—Short‐Form; MST, Malnutrition Screening Tool; MUST, Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool; NRS‐2002, Nutritional Risk Screening‐2002; PG‐SGA, Patient‐Generated Subjective Global Assessment; SGA, Subjective Global Assessment.
