  • Rationale: Sars-cov-2 may cause symptoms that compromise the food intake of patients, debilitating nutritional status Therefore, we did identify nutritional risk criteria in hospitalized patients sars-cov-2 positives Methods: This study is part of a larger, longitudinal study, started on June 15, 2020 on a public hospital at Curitiba, capital of the brazilian state of Paraná At this preliminary sample were included patients positively tested for sars-cov-2 admitted in hospital\'s ward beds The Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002) was performed within 48 hours of hospitalization to identify patients\'s nutritional risk Data were arranged and analyzed with the IBM SPSS Software® Statistics 25 Results: At first sample twelve patients agreed with the ethical terms of the research, seven of these are men and five are women The median age of the patients was forty-one years old (27-81) and the length of hospital stay was six days (1-33) Most patients (n=9) had some degree of obesity and only five patients had some other associated comorbidity Hypertension was the most frequent comorbidity identified (30 8%), followed by diabetes (15 4%) Regarding NRS-2002, three patients were classified as nutritional risk Among the NRS-2002 score\'s criteria, seven patients reduced food intake from 25% (n=4) to 75% (n=2) of habitual consumption, and one patient reduced it by 50% Among the identified gastrointestinal symptoms are inappetence (n=3), diarrhea (n=3), odynophagia (n=1), nausea (n=1) and ageusia (n=1) Only one patient reported previous weight loss Conclusion: Although few patients were classified as nutritional risk (n=3), it was noted that the majority presented some degree of reduction in food intake during the week prior to NRS-2002, impairing adequate nutrient intake References: Barazzoni R, Bischoff SC, Breda J, Wickramasinghe K, Krznaric Z, Nitzan D, et al ESPEN expert statements and practical guidance for nutritional management of individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection Clin Nutr 2020, 39:1631-38 Disclosure of Interest: None declared
