Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed significant differences between the groups (p=0.030). Cox proportional risk regression indicated that route of nutrition support was also an independent prognostic risk factor. The incidence of nutritional risk in critically ill patients with COVID-19 is very high. Early EN may be beneficial to patient outcomes. The incidence of nutritional risk in critically ill patients with COVID-19 is very high. Early EN may be beneficial to patient outcomes. Frailty and malnutrition are overlapping geriatric syndromes and leads to poor clinical outcomes in older patients. This study determined whether Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) can predict frailty in older hospitalised patients. This prospective study recruited 243 patients ≥65 years in a tertiary-teaching hospital in Australia. Frailty assessment was performed by use of the Edmonton-Frail-Scale (EFS), while malnutrition-risk was determined by use of the MUST. Patients with an EFS score >8 were classified as frail, while patients with a MUST score of 1 as at moderate malnutritionrisk and ≥2 as at high malnutrition-risk. Multivariable logistic regression determined whether malnutrition-risk predicts frailty after adjustment for various co-variates. The mean (SD) age was 83.9 (6.5) years) and 126 (51.9%) were females. One-hundred and forty-nine (61.3%) patients were classified as frail, while 66 (27.2%) were found to be at high malnutrition-risk according to the MUST. Frail patients were more likely to be older with a higher Charlson-index and on polypharmacy than non-frail patients. Patients who were at high malnutrition- risk were more likely to be living alone and on vitamin D supplementation than those at low malnutritionrisk. Patients who were at a high malnutrition-risk but not those who were at mo
