Popis: SUMMARY OBJECTIVES: While studies on the treatment for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continue all over the world, factors that increase the risk of severe disease have also been the subject of research. Malnutrition has been considered an independent risk factor. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the clinical effect of dietary habits and evaluate the prognostic value of the Controlling Nutritional Status score in the COVID-19 patients we followed up. METHODS: A total of 2760 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 were examined. Patients were retrospectively screened from three different centers between September 1 and November 30, 2020. A total of 1488 (53.9%) patients who met the criteria were included in the study. Risk classifications were made according to the calculation methods of prognostic nutritional index and Controlling Nutritional Status scores and total scores. The primary outcome of the study was in-hospital mortality. RESULTS: The groups with severe Controlling Nutritional Status and prognostic nutritional index scores had a significantly higher mortality rate than those with mild scores. In the multivariable regression analysis performed to determine in-hospital mortality, the parameters, such as age (OR 1.04; 95%CI 1.02–1.06, p
