  • Other Comments:

    Article clearly fails to show any definite conclusion of nutrition screenig of hospitalized patients.

    Biochemical parameters need to be elaborated.

    What method os assessment of nutritional status of the patients had been used?

    The nutritional scale needs to be highlighted in the article.

     

    Article needs major changes to justify its significance as a research article.
