Outcomes in Hospitalized Older Patients With COVID-19

COVIDAge Study- Hospital Des Trois-Chêne

In December 2019, the first patients infected with the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) were diagnosed in Wuhan. The clinical presentation and course of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is poorly understood in older patients and is certainly different from the general population. This project is designed to better understand and to determine clinical, biological and radiological markers of poor adverse outcomes in hospitalized older patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of COVID-19, defined by a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for SARS-CoV-2 detection, obtained by a nasopharyngeal swab or sputum sample.
• Or patients with negative virus detection in the PCR test, but with a high clinical suspicion will also be considered with COVID-19.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Presence of document indicating a refusal to participate in a research study.
