Abstract
Objective: To verify the association between nutritional risk on admission and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 in hospitalized children and adolescents. Methods: Multicenter cohort study conducted in two cities in the northeastern region of Brazil, with children under 18 years of age laboratory diagnosed with COVID-19. Sociodemographic data and nutritional risk screening by STRONGKids (low, medium and high risk) were collected remotely and in hospital records, respectively. The outcomes assessed were need for ICU admission, length of stay (<10 days or ≥10 days), critical cases, and death. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate the effects of high nutritional risk on COVID-19 clinical outcomes. Results: 103 individuals were evaluated, of these 35 (34.0%) had low risk, 44 (42.7%) medium risk and 24 (23.3%) high risk of malnutrition. Univariate analysis showed that high nutritional risk was associated with ICU admission (p=0.008), length of stay ≥10 days (p=0.010) and critical cases (p=0.048). In multivariate analysis, the association between high nutritional risk remained for ICU admission (OR: 4.95; 95% CI, 1.37-17.8; p=0.01), after adjustments for age, sex, race/color, and socioeconomic class. Death was not associated with high nutritional risk. Conclusions: Children and adolescents with high nutritional risk by STRONGkids at hospital admission were more likely to be admitted to the ICU when infected with SARS-CoV-2.
