Abstract
This study investigated the use of the Eating Assessment Tool 10 (EAT-10) in predicting clinical outcomes in older adults hospitalized with COVID-19 infections between February and June 2021. The EAT-10 was performed for all patients. Thirty one percent and 23% of the 153 patients had oropharyngeal dysphagia risk and in-hospital mortality, respectively. Older age (hazard ratio: 1.08; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-1.13; P = .003) and higher EAT-10 score (hazard ratio: 1.02; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.04; P = .043) were associated with in-hospital mortality. Older age and having increased risk of oropharyngeal dysphagia were independently associated with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality in older patients with COVID-19.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
