Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We will observe the reduction of serum levels of inflammatory markers (C-Reactive Protein, IL6 and TNF-) in patients infected with Covid-19 through serum biochemical dosage from the finding of at least 30% difference between groups. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We will estimate the incidence of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome among Covid-19-infected patients who receive standard hyperprotein or immunonutrient-enriched normocalic supplementation through a questionnaire or medical records.;We will estimate length of hospital stay of patients infected with Covid-19 who receive standard hyperprotein or immunonutrient-enriched normalcalic supplementation through a questionnaire or medical records.;We will evaluate the nutritional risk and status of the patients included through anthropometric data measurement and application of the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 Tool. | — |
