Indicator 5: Prevalence of unplanned weight loss Indicator 5: Prevalence of unplanned weight loss Protocol Sheet Objective: To monitor prevalence of unplanned weight loss and trends in this prevalence. Data collection: • Collect data by auditing the monthly weight records of all residents. • If over the three month period a resident shows a significant unplanned weight loss (see definition) then this change is to be recorded. This result is determined by comparing weight at the last weigh this quarter with weight at the last weigh last quarter. Both these weights need to be available to provide this result. • In addition, if a resident shows an unplanned weight loss of any amount every month over the three consecutive months of the quarter, this is to be recorded. This can only be determined if the resident is weighed on all three occasions. Comments: • Explain why any residents were not included, ie where there is a difference between your total residents and the Number of residents whose weight was monitored. • Indicate if any residents were included in both parts of the indicator, ie they lost 3kg or more AND lost weight every month for 3 months. Exclusions: • Resident absence, for example, in hospital • Resident in end-stage palliative care • Respite residents Definition of key data elements: • Significant weight loss is defined as weight loss equal to or greater than 3 kilograms over a three-month period • Unplanned weight loss is weight loss where there is no written strategy and ongoing record relating to planned weight loss for the individual resident. 18
