Prevelance of malnutrition (SGA B+C) in selected disease groups according to the severity of the disease. This presentation includes only disease groups with n>100. Patients with more than 5 different prescriptions per day were considered as more severely ill than patients with less than 5 or equal different prescriptions per day. *P<0.05, >5 prescriptions vs. ⩽5 prescriptions per day.
