Mara Dunmore: Malnutrition
ENC-00116 · 85M · Pulmonology · admitted Sun Nov 08, 2026 01:44 PM · in hospital · attending Dr. Jalen Carrow · resident Dr. Noor Halvorsen
Clinical judgement required Clinical judgement required Open
In hospital: concurrent review Resident note awaiting attending cosign
Clinical judgement required: Only one consensus characteristic documented; two are required.
Documented vs supported
- Documented
- “malnourished” · E46 Unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition
- Criteria support
- no conclusion: clinical judgement required
- Outcome
- Only one consensus characteristic documented; two are required
- Rule
- Malnutrition severity (ASPEN/Academy 2012 consensus characteristics) v2026.11-1
- Published source
- Consensus statement: Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and ASPEN: characteristics recommended for the identification and documentation of adult malnutrition (White JV et al., J Acad Nutr Diet 2012;112:730-738) (2012), Table: clinical characteristics; at least two of six characteristics; acute illness and chronic illness contexts · source (checked 2026-11-14)
- Contested
- GLIM (2019) is an alternative, internationally endorsed framework with different thresholds; an organization must choose one per policy. This rule encodes ASPEN/Academy 2012 and lists GLIM as the alternative.
Clinical judgement required. The rule does not conclude here. A CDI specialist may send an open query or dismiss the finding; nothing is proposed as fact.
Effect if the clinician agrees (illustrative)
- Change
- no projected change (clinician judgement)
- Secondary-diagnosis level
- CC → —
- MS-DRG (illustrative)
- 190 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with MCC → 190 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with MCC
- Relative weight
- 1.1077 → 1.1077 (+0.0000)
- Codes before
- J44.1, E46, I50.9, J96.01, L89.154
- Codes after
- J44.1, E46, I50.9, J96.01, L89.154
All open gaps on this encounter together: MS-DRG 190 → 190 (RW +0.0000). The grouping does not change; the record becomes accurate.
CC/MCC status, CC exclusions (subset) and relative weights from the public CMS FY2026 IPPS final rule tables (5, 6I, 6J, 6K). This is not a grouper and not a payment estimate. Queries never mention any of this.
Severity documentation index change SIMULATED
0.0 points
SIMULATED: Illustrative severity weights (MCC = 1.0, CC = 0.5, non-CC = 0) summed over secondary diagnoses; not a validated risk-adjustment model and not a measured effect.

Other findings on this encounter
- Heart failure · Specificity gap Documented “congestive heart failure” (I50.9); criteria support the more specific Acute on chronic diastolic (HFpEF) heart failure (I50.33).
- Acute respiratory failure · Clinical validation gap Documented “acute respiratory failure with hypoxia” (J96.01) but the criteria are not met: No hypoxaemia on room air (lowest SpO2 93%), oxygen no more than 2 L/min, no advanced support.
