Abstract
Objective: Survey nutritional status and understanding some related factors among COVID-19 patients at 108 Military Central Hospital. Subject and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 103 COVID-19 patients from January 2023 to June 2023. Result: In a total of 103 patients, the average age was 70.6 ± 16.7. When evaluated using the SGA tool, it was found that: SGA-A (no malnutrition) accounted for 70.9%; SGA-B (mild and moderate malnutrition) accounted for 23.3%; SGA-C (severe malnutrition) accounted for 5.8%. The rate of having mechanical ventilation was 23.3%. The death rate during treatment was 18.4%. Diagnosis of anemia accounted for 14.6%, hypoalbuminemia accounted for 33.0%. Conclusion: Malnutrition among COVID-19 patients accounts for a high rate. There is a relationship between age, mechanical ventilation, anemia and malnutrition status according to SGA of the study subjects. All hospitalized COVID-19 patients need to be screened and assessed for nutritional status to guide treatment and minimize the risk of complications and death in patients.
