    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-12-11) Sucasaca Rojas, Juan Kenty; Bohórquez Medina, Sofia Lorena
    Zinc supplementation could help reduce morbidity and mortality in patients affected by COVID-19. This secondary research, titled as a critical review: 'ZINC SUPPLEMENTATION IN COVID-19 MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY,' aims to analyze whether zinc supplementation contributes to preventing exacerbation, controlling symptoms, and improving final outcomes. The clinical question was: What is the effect of zinc supplementation on COVID-19 morbidity and mortality? A critical review was conducted using the NuBE (Evidence-Based Nutrition) methodology. Scientific articles were searched in 'PubMed/MEDLINE, Science Direct, WOS, and SCOPUS,' yielding 43 articles, of which 14 were included in this research and evaluated using 'CASPe' ('Critical Appraisal Skills Programme'), ultimately selecting the meta-analysis titled 'Zinc supplementation and COVID-19 mortality: a meta-analysis,' which has an 'A II level of evidence' and 'Strong Recommendation Grade.' The critical commentary concluded that zinc supplementation in COVID-19 patients could help reduce mortality rates.
