Summary

This study tested a short questionnaire called SEFI that asks children about their food intake to see if it can reliably identify those at risk for malnutrition in the hospital. Researchers compared SEFI results to standard growth measurements in 368 children aged 10-17. The goal was to give doctors and nurses a simple, fast tool to catch malnutrition early.
