Evaluation of the effectiveness of the modified nutrition risk in the critically ill (mNUTRIC) score in critically ill patients affected by COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU)

Table 4 The correlation between mNUTRIC score, disease severity, hospital and ICU duration, C-reactive protein, PH, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation 2, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment and mortality of COVID-19 Patients
