About this study

Official title: Personalized Dietary Advice 3 Months After Discharge From Hospitalization in Geriatrics: Effect on Nutritional Status According to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) Status (Positive or Negative) During Hospitalization

The principal aim of this interventional, multicentre study is to compare the impact of a follow-up by monthly telephone dietetic consultations, started 3 months after discharge from hospital, for a period of 3 months, on the energy intake in patients elderly people recently hospitalized for Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), Coronavirus disease Positive group "Covid (+)", or not, Coronavirus disease Negative group"Covid (-)".

The main outcome measure is to compare the total energy intake at 6 months, after 3 months of dietary consultations, between Coronavirus disease Positive group "Covid (+)" and Coronavirus disease negative group "Covid (-)".

Read the detailed description

This study consists of nutritional monitoring after hospitalization, carried out by dieticians. Consultations are done remotely, by phone only.

Eligible subjects are included, either upon discharge from hospital or within 3 months (at the latest) following their hospitalization.

135 subjects will be included, 50% will be included in Coronavirus disease Positive group "Covid (+)" and 50% in the Coronavirus desease negative group "Covid (-)" .

The following data will be collected

  • At Inclusion (D0): Average length of hospital stay, medical diagnoses, severity of hospital stay, autonomy and dependency scores, albumin and body mass index (BMI).
  • At M3, M4, M5 and M6: Dietary monitoring data, patient's vital status and dependency scores.
Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of total energy requirements, after 3 months of dietary consultations, between Covid (+) and Covid (-) groups.

    A 30 to 40 minute telephone survey by a dietitian, with:

    • the reminder of food intake over 24 hours, estimation of the weight of each food and quantification in kcal / day and grams of protein / day.
    • This assessment of food intake will be followed by nutritional advice adapted to the severity of undernutrition, spontaneous food intake, the subject's tastes and dislikes, and the possibilities of preparing the necessary dishes and textures.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assessment of the degree of patient dependence according "Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living" KATZ scale

    This is a measurement of the subject's ability to perform activities of daily living independently without including minimum and maximum values

    Measured: At inclusion

  2. Assessment of patient's level of dependence through an appreciation of instrumental activities of daily living according Lawton scale

    Assessment of older people: Self-maintaining and instrumental activities of daily living without including minimum and maximum values

    Measured: At inclusion

  3. Comparison of weight variation by measuring the Body Mass Index (BMI)

    Measured: 6 months
