STAMP IS A QUICK AND EASY-TO-USE NUTRITIONAL SCREENING TOOL WHICH CAN HELP OPTIMISE CARE PLANS AND IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES.
A poor nutritional status in hospitalised children can lead to poor clinical outcomes, increased complications, longer hospital stays, higher treatment costs, reduced quality of life1 and increased mortality rates.2
Prevalence of malnutrition can often be high:1
STAMP (Screening Tool for the Assessment of Malnutrition in Paediatrics) is a validated nutrition screening tool for use in hospitalised children from 2 weeks to 16 years of age.5,6 It was developed by a team from Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, the lead investigator being Helen McCarthy, former Lecturer and Honorary Paediatric Dietitian.
This tool aids the early identification and treatment of malnutrition in hospitalised children and is intended for use by all healthcare professionals (HCPs) as part of patients’ routine treatment.
It uses weight and height measurements to calculate weight loss and differences in between centile spaces for weight and height percentiles for age and gender, which have been found to be strong predictors of nutritional risk.

STAMP is a validated nutritional screening tool designed for all children from 2 weeks to 16 years of age.5,6 It has been specifically developed for screening paediatric patients and can be used by any member of a child’s healthcare team.
This tool is meant for use as part of a child’s routine care whilst in hospital so that malnutrition risk can be identified and dealt with early to prevent longer hospital stays and improved clinical outcomes.

STAMP enables simple routine nutritional screening in hospitalised children so that nutritional support needs are identified and appropriately managed, facilitating a consistent quality of nutritional care.
Quick and easy to use5
Requires no nutritional expertise5
Requires minimal training to implement5
“The ideal nutrition screening tool is one that can be completed by any member of the healthcare team without specialist nutrition training or knowledge. STAMP is quick and easy-to-use, requiring no nutritional expertise and minimal training to implement and interpret.”
In this course, Dr Helen McCarthy will explain and detail the indicators of malnutrition; indicate the factors that can impact the nutritional status of children; describe the gaps in knowledge and practice around nutritional status and screening; recognise the importance of ongoing quality improvement in the nutrition care of children; and review the new STAMP website and training hub.
The STAMP website hosts a variety of training documents, case studies and collateral to help you understand STAMP and embed screening as part of everyday clinical care.
This 45 minute video defines paediatric malnutrition in the UK, reviews the roll of paediatric screening tools in practice and evaluates available screening tools and how they can be implemented in clinical settings.
Book a meeting you your local Abbott representative to understand how we are supporting Trusts across the UK with STAMP training and implementation in secondary care to help embed nutritional screening as everyday clinical practice.
