No attempt has been made to estimate separately the costs of DRM and any associated disease, since each can be a cause or consequence of the other. The methods used are adapted from an evaluation of the cost of malnutrition in the UK by the British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (2009).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980011003624_abs3\" sec-type=\"general\"><jats:title>Settings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Hospitals, nursing homes, out-patient clinics, primary-care clinics and home care.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980011003624_abs4\" sec-type=\"subjects\"><jats:title>Subjects<\/jats:title><jats:p>All adult patients receiving hospital in-patient, out-patient or specified community health-care services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980011003624_abs5\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The annual public health and social care cost associated with adult malnourished patients in Ireland is estimated at over \u20ac1\u00b74 billion, representing 10 % of the health-care budget.
