Impact of Nutritional Therapy during Intensive Care Unit Admission on Post-Intensive Care Syndrome in Patients with COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Nutritional therapy is an important component of intensive care. We investigated the associations of nutritional therapy in the acute phase of severe COVID-19 with the long-term outcomes of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) and post-COVID-19 conditions.

Methods

Total energy and protein intakes during the first week after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) were calculated. The primary endpoint was a decrease in quality of life (QOL) defined by EuroQol5-dimensions 5-level (EQ5D5L) <0.8. A multivariable regression analysis was used to examine.

Results

A total of 220 ICU patients were included in this study. Median total energy and
