Clinical trial registries, grey literature, and reference lists of included studies were also screened. Study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment were conducted independently by two reviewers. A bivariate mixed-effects model was utilized to evaluate the diagnostic test accuracy, producing pooled estimates for sensitivity and specificity with the corresponding confidence intervals (CIs), using SGA as a reference method for malnutrition diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nine primary studies (1420 participants) and data from one unpublished work were included in the present systematic review. Based on data derived from three studies, GLIM criteria demonstrated high sensitivity (0.80, 95% CI: 0.68-0.88) and moderate specificity (0.71, 95% CI: 0.53-0.84) using SGA as a reference standard. The certainty of the evidence supporting these findings was rated as very low.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The GLIM criteria demonstrate potential as an effective tool for diagnosing malnutrition in patients with IBD.
