Interest of a Visual Scale for Evaluating Food Portions as a Screening Tool for Nutritional Risk in Pediatrics

In current practice, there are various nutritional risk scores and diagnostic tools which are used in both inpatient and outpatient settings,however, in some cases, these tools cannot be used due to lack of data. That's why a tool that doesn't require any anthropometric parameters, such as a visual food intake scale, could be useful to for medical and paramedical staff. In this way, a larger proportion of the paediatric population could benefit from nutritional screening.
