Introduction:

during COVID-19 pandemic, international societies released guidelines and recommendations for patients requiring nutritional support according to previous similar respiratory diseases.

Objectives:

the aim of the study was to evaluate the nutritional support provided by enteral nutrition (EN) in patients with COVID-19 infection, identify if the recommendations from international societies were met and their impact on mortality rate.

Methods:

a cohort study was conducted on adult patients with COVID-19 admitted to a tertiary hospital. Demographic, clinical, biochemical, and nutritional variables were obtained. A random-effect parametric survival-time model was performed to quantify the risk of death for each variable, and the Hausman test was used to confirm the model.

Results:

two hundred and twenty-nine patients were enrolled. The delivered energy was > 80 % of adequacy in the first two days, as suggested by international guidelines (11.7 ± 4.9 kcal/kg); however, an adequacy rate less than 60 % was achieved on day 14 (25.4 ± 7.4 kcal/kg). The protein adequacy was > 75 % on the first days of infusion (1.3 ± 0.3 g/kg); however, the infusion was < 50 % (1.5 ± 0.4 g/kg) after being extubated. Age, sex, and nutritional risk were related to higher mortality in patients with EN, whereas the infused energy and protein, the percentage of protein adequacy, arginine, and n-3 PUFA were associated with lower mortality.

Conclusion:

achieving at least 80 % of the energy and protein requirements, as well as n-3 PUFA and arginine supplementation could be associated with lower mortality in COVID-19 patients. More studies are needed to confirm the role of these nutrients on the mortality rate.
