TITLE:
CAN COVID-19 BE A RISK FOR CACHEXIA FOR PATIENTS DURING INTENSIVE CARE? NARRATIVE REVIEW AND NUTRITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
KEY WORDS:
Muscle wasting: Weight loss: Malnutrition: Coronavirus infections: Diet
PAGES: 20
BIG AREA: Ciências da Saúde
AREA: Nutrição
SUMMARY:
Although increased weight, and particularly obesity, has been associated with a more severe clinical course of COVID-19 and risk of fatality, the course of the illness can lead to prolonged length of stay. Changes in nutritional status and weight loss during hospitalization are largely reported in some populations, but still not explored in COVID-19 patients. Considering that patients with COVID-19 show an increased inflammatory response, other signs and symptoms, which can lead to weight and muscle loss, should be monitored. The aim of this article was to establish possible connections between COVID-19, prolonged hospitalization and muscle wasting, as well as to propose nutritional recommendations for the prevention and treatment of cachexia, through a narrative review. Identification of risk and presence of malnutrition should be an early step in general assessment of all patients, with regard to more at-risk categories including older adults and individuals suffering from chronic and acute disease conditions, such as COVID-19. The deterioration of nutritional status, and consequently cachexia, increases the risk of mortality and needs to be treated with attention as other complications. There is, however, little hard evidence of nutritional approaches in assisting COVID-19 treatment or its management including cachexia.
