Background: Malnutrition is an often-overlooked yet potentially crucial factor influencing COVID-19 outcomes. Poor nutritional status weakens immune function, increases infection susceptibility, and worsens prognoses in hospitalized patients. However, its specific role mortality remains insufficiently characterized. The aim of the study was to assess impact malnutrition, as determined by Nutritional Risk Score (NRS-2002), on in-hospital mortality. Methods: This retrospective, single-center analyzed 222 patients with during Delta variant predominance. Thirty-one died hospitalization.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, dietary habits in population changed and sometimes deviated from healthy eating patterns, such as Mediterranean diet. Based on reports quality of diet respondents to studies conducted at beginning it could be concluded that these new are unfavorable for a good prognosis course any disease its severity symptoms. This study decided confront assumptions with results people who had COVID-19. Background/Objectives: aimed assess associations between patterns occurrence hospitalization gastrointestinal disorders among patients diagnosed Methods: included 550 completed survey up 8 months after being The 62 items FFQ-6®, GSRS, PAC-SYM FACT-G7 standardized questionnaires. Results: Two (DPs) were identified: 'Processed high fat/sugar/salt/meat/dairy/potatoes' 'Semi-vegetarian'. Higher adherence 'Processed' DP was associated higher odds due COVID-19, more severe disease, highest intensity 'Semi-vegetarian' lower less lowest Conclusions: showed strong harmful effect processed pattern an increased incidence northwestern Polish adults during emphasizing importance
