Nutritional risk screening tools for people living with HIV: a scoping review

This scoping review aims to map the nutritional risk screening tools used for people living with HIV (PLWH) and summarize their characteristics, application settings, measurement properties, and associations with clinical outcomes. It will identify the tools used in clinical practice and research, compare their core components and screening performance, and highlight their strengths, limitations, and evidence gaps. The findings are expected to support tool selection in different HIV-related clinical contexts and inform the development and validation of more robust HIV-specific nutritional risk screening tools.
