BACKGROUND: Few clinical studies have addressed nutritional risk assessment in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). OBJECTIVES: Assess the nutritional risk status of the critically ill COVID-19 pneumonia patients admitted to the ICU, and compare the nutritional risk screening tools. DESIGN: Medical record review SETTINGS: Tertiary critical care unit PATIENTS AND METHODS: We included adult (age >18 years) PCR-confirmed critically ill COVID-19 pneumonia cases admitted to the ICU between August 2020 and September 2021. Scoring systems were used to assess COVID-19 severity and nutritional status (mNUTRIC: modified Nutrition Risk in Critically Ill, NRS2002: Nutritional Risk Screening 2002). The 30-day mortality prediction performance of nutritional scores and survival comparisons between clinical and demographic factors were assessed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Compare the nutrition risk tools SAMPLE SIZE: 281 patients with a mean (SD) age of 64.3 (13.3) years; 143 (50.8%) were 65 years and older. RESULTS: The mean mNUTRIC score of the cases was 3.81 (1.66) and the mean NRS-2002 score was 3.21 (0.84.), and 101 (35.9%) were at high risk of malnutrition according to the mNUTRIC score and 229 (81.4%) according to the NRS 2002 score. In cases at high risk of malnutrition by the mNUTRIC score there was a greater need for invasive mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, and renal replacement therapy (P<.001 for all comparisons). The mNUTRIC score was superior to the NRS-2002 score in estimating 30-day mortality. In patients who died within 30 days, the mNUTRIC score and NRS-2002 score on the day of hospitalization were significantly higher (P<.001), and the proportion of patients with NRS2002 score >= 3 and mNUTRIC score >= 5 was significantly higher in the non-surviving group (P<.001). In addition, patients with a high risk of malnutrition had a shorter survival time. The mNUTRIC score was an independent and important prognostic factor for 30-day mortality, and patients with an mNUTRIC score >= 5 had a 6.26-fold risk for 30-day mortality in the multivariate Cox regression. CONCLUSION: One third of critical COVID-19 pneumonia cases hospitalized in the ICU due to acute respiratory failure have a high risk of malnutrition, and a high mNUTRIC score is associated with increased mortality. LIMITATIONS: Single center retrospective study.
