According to a 2023 study published by the National Institutes of Health, malnutrition significantly increases a patient's risk of complications and hospital readmission. This underscores the essential role of a dietitian in the interdisciplinary team, providing expert nutritional care to improve patient outcomes and overall well-being.

According to research, a significant number of hospitalized patients are undernourished, which can negatively impact clinical outcomes. This is precisely why a nutrition multidisciplinary team, often called a Nutrition Support Team (NST), is crucial for providing comprehensive and coordinated nutritional care.
