NutriCovid30 : Nutritional Evaluation for Covid-19 Infection at D30

Completed
Conditions
COVID-19
Interventions
Other: Interview
Registration Number
NCT04365816
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Grenoble
Brief Summary

Describe the main clinical features impacting the food intake, and therefore the nutritional status of a population infected by a coronavirus.

Detailed Description

The recent Covid-19 outbreak has brought USA, European, British and French nutrition learned societies to publish recommendations for the nutritional management of patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2. They reminded that there is a risk of malnutrition for that population.

The emergency and rapid evolution in the situation have led to severe cases of anosmia, ageusia, diarrhea, odynophagia, anorexia etc.. Some of the first patients cured from Covid-19 have lost up to 10 kgs.

To this day, there is no available information regarding either nutritional characteristics or nutritional interventions (enteral or parenteral nutrition, oral nutritional supplements, dietary supplementations) for Covid-19 patients.

The objective of this study is to describe nutritional consequences of the Covid-19 infection for adults, 30 days after their discharge from hospital, as well as the nutritional care they received.

Type and proportion of chronic diseases will be assessed in this trial.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of food intake at 1 month after discharge from hospital for COVIDone month after hospital discharge

Self assessment on the SEFI (Self-Evaluation of Food Intake) scale at one month after hospital discharge: 0 corresponds to the worsen score (no ingesta) and 10 corresponds to the best (same ingesta than before the disease)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Implemented nutritional strategyone month after hospital discharge

Effect of nutritional strategy and interventions that were implemented (nutritional advice, adapted meals, oral nutritional supplementation, enteral and parenteral nutrition during hospitalisation and one month after hospital discharge) on SEFI and weight

Clinical signs limiting food intakeone month after hospital discharge

Effect of these factors (anorexia, dysgeusia, Ear Nose and Throat pain, swallowing disorders, intestinal transit disorders...) on SEFI and weight

Weight variation during the infectionone month after hospital discharge

Self-reported weight in kilograms, or in the absence of self-reported variations before the disease, during hospitalisation, at hospital discharge, one month after hospital discharge

Covid-19 repercussionsone month after hospital discharge

Quantifying unscheduled consultations or hospitalisations in the month following discharge from hospital

Factors limiting food intakeone month after hospital discharge

Effect of these factors (supply difficulties, disease-related food disgust, limiting food habits or prior diet, hydration difficulties, need for help) on SEFI and weight

Pre-existing chronic disordersone month after hospital discharge

Effect of pre-existing chronic disorders (pulmonary, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, cardio-vascular disease, diabetes, obesity, cognitive disorders, immunodepression, cancer, inflammatory joint disorder) on SEFI and weight
