Early diagnosis and effective nutritional management can save life. To assess the nutritional status and predict possible outcomes of critical patients Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), nutrition risk in critically ill patients (NUTRIC), and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) score has been used. This retrospective observational study was conducted on confirmed COVID-19 cases in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Shifa hospital between November 24, 2020 to May 31, 2021. The demographic, clinical and laboratory information was obtained from hospital records. Risk factors for COVID-19 were identified and compared using multivariate logistic regression analysis. The nutritional risk for each patient was assessed. In this study 162 COVID-19 patients with median age of 64 years (IQR: 56-74) were included. Hypertension (59.2%) was found to be the most common comorbidity and the most prevalent symptoms upon admission were fever (54.9%). The patients in critical condition were supplied nutrients through nasogastric route (61.7%) while 37.7% and 0.6 % were assisted through oral and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) route. The Glasgow comma score was found to be mild (72.2%) (GCS>12) with increased creatinine, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein (CRP C), and glycosylated haemoglobin HbA1c level were present. Interestingly based on SOFA, APACHE and NUTRIC score low insignificant malnutrition risk was observed. Our study found different demographic factors and comorbidities have a substantial impact on COVID19 patients, as evidenced by demographic, laboratory, clinical, and nutritional risk factors.","PeriodicalId":20855,"journal":{"name":"Pure and Applied Biology","volume":"64 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72548883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In present study biscuits were developed from pumpkin seeds powder, rich in Fe and Zn, for children to strengthen innate and adaptive immune system to combat current COVID 19 outbreak scenarios. Chemical analyses of pumpkin seeds powder, white flour and developed biscuits, with 0, 5, 10 and 15% replacement level of pumpkin seeds powder, were performed. Ash, fat, fiber, Fe and Zn contents were significantly higher in pumpkin seeds powder as compared to white flour. By increasing the replacement level of pumpkin seeds powder with white flour, a significant increase in ash, fat, fiber, Fe and Zn, in biscuits was observed. In control (T0) the contents were, ash (0.57%), fat (30.36%), fiber (0.37%), Fe (2.44 mg/100 g) and Zn (1.45 mg/100 g) but when supplementation level was increased to 15% (T3) these contents were increased as, ash (1.65%), fat (32.46%), fiber (1.24%), Fe (4.23 mg/100 g) and Zn (4.37 mg/100 g). In current post COVID 19 scenario adequate supply of healthy diet, balanced with pharma foods could play a basic role in boosting immune system of the children. Concerns of the food processors has raised the choice of new food products enriched with immunity booster nutrients. These nutritious biscuits can be developed, marketed and consumed at mass levels to provide the basic nutrients to the developing communities.","PeriodicalId":20855,"journal":{"name":"Pure and Applied Biology","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73461669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
