The association between TB and malnutrition is well recognized. Malnutrition is common in pulmonary TB patients, especially who are hospitalized. Malnutrition can adversely affect treatment outcomes and also closely related to mortality. However, data from Indonesia are sparse, despite the high burden of TB. Therefore, nutritional status assessment and nutritional Decitabine mouse management of hospitalized pulmonary TB patients play a central role in every day practice. Methods:?This was a retrospective cohort study with secondary data of 345 hospitalized pulmonary TB patients in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital between January 2011 and September 2013. We assessed the nutritional status at the time of hospital admission, such as Body Mass Index (BMI), Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) assessments and serum albumin level examinations, then subjects were observed to evaluate their hospital mortality. Result and Discussion:?At the time of hospital admission, 66.4% of subjects had BMI PD98059 order kg/m2, 50.7% of subjects had serum albumin level?=2. BMI =2 increased the risk of hospital mortality in pulmonary tuberculosis patients (RR 1.589, 95% CI 1.020�C2.473, p 0.033; RR 4.588, 95% CI 2.649�C7.945, p?
