Consenso sobre a terminologia padronizada do processo de cuidado em nutrição para pacientes adultos com doença renal crônica

Abstract

This consensus represents the first collaboration between three professional organizations focused on nutrition: Brazilian Association of Nutrition (ASBRAN), Brazilian Society of Nephrology (SBN) and Brazilian Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (Braspen/SBNPE), with the objective of identifying internationally standardized terminology and instruments for the nutrition care process. The focus is to facilitate the training of nutritionists who work with adult patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Eleven issues related to nutrition screening, care and management of outcomes were raised. Recommendations were based on international guidelines and electronic databases such as PubMed, EMBASE™, CINHAL, Web of Science and Cochrane. From the sending of lists of internationally standardized terms, 20 nutrition specialists selected those they considered very clear and relevant for clinical practice with CKD outpatients. The content validity index (CVI) was calculated, with 80% agreement in the responses. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) was used to assign evidence strength to the recommendations. A total of 107 terms were selected for Nutrition Assessment and Reassessment, 28 for Nutrition Diagnosis, 9 for Nutrition Intervention, and 94 for Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation in Nutrition. The list of selected terms and identification of instruments will assist in training planning and implementation of standardized nutrition terminology in Brazil for nutritionists working with CKD patients.
