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. Conclusion proportion COVID-19 experience malnutrition, various are associated their prognosis. High is significantly related mortality. Early assessment or crucial these patients, personalized interventions should be implemented improve overall status, maintain organ function, enhance body’s antiviral defence.

There is a growing interest in the joint modeling of dynamics disease and health-related beliefs attitudes, but coupling mechanisms are yet to be understood. We introduce model where risk information, which can delayed, comes two flavors, including historical derived from perceived incidence data predicted information. Our also includes an interpretation domain behavioral response information subject in-group pressure. then simulate how strength reaction impacts epidemic severity as measured by peak size, number waves, final size.
