【Objective】

They divided COVID-19 patients into two groups based on their need for oxygen therapy and examined nutritional risk factors.

【Methods】

Targets are all consecutive patients admitted to Medical Research Institute Kitano Hospital from April to December 2021 due to COVID-19. Survey items include age, gender, height, weight, presence or absence of comorbidities, and With or without oxygen therapy. serum data at admission (Alb, lymphocyte count, 25OHD, Zn), nutritional status index (PNI). These patients were divided into two groups based on whether they needed oxygen therapy or not (oxygen therapy group vs. no oxygen therapy group) and compared.

【Results】

In the oxygen therapy group, age, male ratio, diabetes comorbidity ratio, and BMI were significantly higher, and PNI was significantly lower. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, PNI, diabetes status, and gender (male) were independent predictors of severity risk.

【Conclusion】

It was suggested that nutritional status at admission, gender (male), and diabetes as a comorbidity may be associated with the severity of COVID-19.
