Objective To evaluate the relationship between nutritional scoring systems, support methods, and prognosis of severe critically ill patients infected with Omicron variant coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods Patients confirmed critical COVID-19, who were admitted to Chongqing Medical University First Hospital December 2022 January 2023, enrolled into this retrospective study. Clinical data survived for 28 days compared those died during same period. Nutritional status was assessed using 2002 Nutrition Risk Screening (NRS) tool Prognostic Index (PNI). Factors influencing patient mortality identified by multivariate logistic regression, nutrition as progressed illustrated Kaplan–Meier curves. The study registered on ChiCTR platform (No. ChiCTR2300067595). Results A total 508 included (349 survivors 159 non-survivors). Significant differences found in sex, age, NRS score, PNI albumin level, lymphocyte count, chronic comorbidities, mechanical ventilation, neutrophil procalcitonin, platelet count non-survivors. Multivariate analysis revealed that high score (OR 3.87, 95% CI, 1.97, 7.63), fourth-level (combined enteral parenteral nutrition; OR 7.89, 1.32, 47.28), comorbidities 4.03, 1.91, 8.51), ventilation 6.03, 3, 12.13) risk factors > 1). malnutrition rate among ≥ 3 41.93%. median (interquartile range) 38.20 (35.65, 41.25) versus 32.65 (29.65, 36.58) higher within hospitalization. descending order receiving different was: dual nutrition, no intervention, single nutrition.

Abstract Using a unique harmonized real‐time data set from the COME-HERE longitudinal survey that covers five European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden) applying non-parametric machine learning model, this paper identifies main individual macro-level predictors of self-protecting behaviors against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during first wave pandemic. Exploiting interpretability Random Forest algorithm via Shapely values, we find higher regional incidence COVID-19 triggers levels self-protective behavior, as does stricter government policy response. The level knowledge about pandemic, confidence in institutions, population density also ranks high among factors predict behaviors. We identify steep socioeconomic gradient with lower being associated income poor housing conditions. Among socio-demographic factors, gender, marital status, age, region residence are determinants measures.
