Abstract：Abstract: The incidence rate of malnutrition in patients with acute leukemia is quite high, many patients need nutritional
intervention during the treatment. However, only a few number of current studies focus on nutritional status of patients with acute
leukemia. Furthermore, these studies are limited to the application of BMI toanalysize the nutritional status and prognosis, and many
studies have not been consistent. PG-SGA is the preferred method for nutritional screening of cancer patients, recommended by
ASPEN (American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition). It is widely used in solid tumors to evaluate patients’nutritional
status by qualitative and quantitative analysis, but it is seldom applied in acute leukemia. In this review, we’re going todiscuss the
current situation of nutritional status assessment in acute leukemia patients, illustrating the necessity of analyzing nutritional status in
these patients and the indicators that can be applied in the future.
