RFH-SGA scheme for determining nutritional status in patients with cirrhosis. Patients are categorized in relation to their BMI, MAMC, and dietary intake into one of three categories: adequately nourished, moderately malnourished (or suspected to be), and severely malnourished. A subjective override based on factors such as profound recent weight loss or recent significant improvements in appetite and dietary intake can be used to modify the patient's classification.
