Tele-Medical Nutrition Therapy to Promote Healthy Eating and Nutrition Adherence of Chronic Patients in the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Pragmatically Before-After Trial.

Background And Aims: Patients find it difficult, during the pandemic, to receive appropriate nutrition services because of the limited access to health services. This study assessed the effectiveness of a tele-consulting nutrition intervention on the nutrition adherence of patients with diabetes and hypertension.

Methods: A tele-medical nutrition therapy (MNT) intervention was conducted as a one-group before-after trial.

A pragmatically before-after trial of tele-visits vs face-to-face visits for chronic patients during the COVID-19 pandemic: patient-reported adherence.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, chronic patients are at a higher risk of contamination with the virus. Specific strategies are required to restrict these patients' exposure to contaminated areas and improve medication adherence. One suggested strategy is tele-visiting, which is effective for the continuity of care and medication adherence during the pandemic.
