Abstract

Objective: to know the nutritional profile and clinical outcomes of adults hospitalized with covid-19 in the year 2021 in a public hospital in the Federal District (DF). Materials and methods: observational, retrospective and analytical study. Data were collected through the electronic medical records of adult patients who are admitted to the emergency room of a public hospital that is a reference for the care of patients with covid-19 in the Federal District. Results: 710 adults of both sexes participated in the survey, it was found that adults with covid-19 at nutritional risk need mechanical ventilation more 87.38% (p<0.05) and died more (86.96%) (p<0.05). In addition to requiring more intensive care unit treatment (87.50%) (p<0.005). Conclusion: the present study demonstrated that patients with covid-19 who were at nutritional risk had more interventions and evolved to death. Evidencing the importance of early screening for the presence of nutritional risk in hospitalized patients with covid-19, for interventions to reduce possible unfavorable outcomes.
