AB  - Background & aim: This study aims to prospectively assess the validity, 
      reliability and feasibility of two nutrition screening tools NRS-2002 and MST 
      combined with BMI (MST+BMI) after administration by medical doctors in hospitals 
      in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) Viet Nam.Methods: Participants were 150 adult patients 
      (validity study), 30 adult patients (reliability study) and 40 medical doctors 
      (feasibility study) in three wards from three general public hospitals in HCMC. 
      Area Under the ROC curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive 
      value, negative predictive value and percent of correctly classified were 
      calculated to determine validity against SGA or BMI. Cohen's kappa (kappa) statistics 
      were calculated to determine the reliability of NRS-2002 and MST+BMI. Viewpoints 
      regarding the benefit and role of nutrition screening and the ease of use, 
      acceptability and feasibility of NRS-2002 and MST+BMI were assessed among medical 
      doctors using self-administered questionnaires with Likert scales to determine 
      feasibility.Results: After completing by medical doctors the NRS-2002 and MST+BMI 
      showed good validity (the sensitivity and specificity were 80.3% and 79.8% for 
      NRS-2002 and were 81.8% and 84.5% for MST+BMI, respectively) and consistent 
      reliability (kappa: 0.72 & 0.75) against SGA or BMI. Medical doctors mostly agreed 
      (93%) on the need for and benefits of nutrition screening. It took between two 
      and 4 min to complete screening using NRS-2002 or MST+BMI. Over 82% of medical 
      doctors indicated that the NRS-2002 and MST+BMI were easy to conduct. There was, 
      however, lower agreement (73%), regarding the feasibility of implementing 
      screening in their wards and hospitals.Conclusions: Both NRS-2002 and MST+BMI 
      were valid, reliable and feasible for use by medical doctors for nutrition 
      screening in hospitals in the resource sparse Vietnamese context. Additional 
      activities are required to make nutrition screening more feasible.
