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 (-).

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.
