This study aimed to determine the prevalence of malnutrition of MHD patients at a dialysis center in a provincial hospital in the Philippines using the Dialysis Malnutrition Score (DMS)‚ a modified Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). It also aimed to analyze possible correlation between modified SGA and different techniques of nutritional assessment including food intake
