In individuals affected by Decompensated Chronic Liver Disease (DCLD), fluid retention, such as oedema and ascites, can hinder accurate nutritional assessment, leading to underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis of weight loss and malnutrition. The present study describes the development and validation of a novel tool for Systematic Nutritional Clinical Assessment (SyNCA), including its content, semantic, and construct validity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In Phase 1, the Delphi protocol was employed to evaluate SyNCA content and semantic validity with input from clinical nutrition experts and resident nutritionists. Phase 2 involved a cross\u2010sectional, multicentre study of DCLD hospitalised patients to assess construct validity. SyNCA outcomes were compared with established nutritional assessment methods including anthropometry, handgrip strength (HGS), and dual\u2010energy X\u2010ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Correlations were analysed using Pearson or Spearman coefficients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Following expert review in Phase 1, out of the 18 items initially proposed across five anatomical regions, 14 items were retained in the final SyNCA instrument. In Phase 2, data from 136 hospitalised DCLD patients revealed moderate correlations between SyNCA scores and arm muscle circumference (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n
