The COVID-Age Brugmann study aims to identify the clinical predictors of mortality risk in older patients admitted to an acute care unit due to COVID-19
The COVID-19 disease has been shown to be associated to higher mortality risk and health adverse consequences. Despite of the fact that the SAR-COV2 virus has been shown that affects every populations, the negative impact is higher in older people, pointing this population as the most severely affected.
The COVID-Age Brugmann study aims to identify if comorbidity, geriatric syndromes, and health issues at admission are associated to mortality risk in older patients admitted to an acute care unit due to COVID-19
