Malnutrition in hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection

Abstract

(CCI). Results: 161 participants were included. Mean age was 66 years (SD 11.5), 58% were male and 81% did not receive preoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy. LSMM was identified in 69 (43%) participants and prevalence was higher in males (54.8%) compared to females (26.5%). Sarcopenia was detected in 21 (13.2%) participants. LSMM was not associated with postoperative outcomes: CD odds ratio 1.15, 95% CI 0.45, 2.95; CCI incidence rate ratio 0.98, 95% CI 0.30, 3.22; LoS hazard ratio 1.03, 95% CI 0.73, 1.46. Conclusion: Prevalence of sarcopenia and LSMM in people before CRC surgery was lower than expected. In contrast with other studies we found no association between body composition and LoS or short-term complications. Variation between studies in methodological aspects (e.g., definitions and cutpoints, software, timeframes assessed) may contribute to these differences.

Counselling and Training of Nutritional Snacks Making for Immunity Increasing During Covid 19 Pandemic

“…Coronavirus Disease (Covid- 19) is an infection disease caused by a novel virus of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-Cov2) and caused a deadly pandemic. Previous research has shown that a higher mortality rate was found in elderly people especially those with comorbities such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, chronic kidney disease and other degenerative diseases have higher mortalities [1]. According to Pironi et al [2], from 50% of covid-19 hospitalized patients, 70% of them were over 65 years old with malnutrition condition.…”
