| Core Tip |
Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) affects people of all ages; however, the risk for severe illness increases with age, with older adults being at highest risk. While many studies with regard to COVID-19 impact on elderly patients have been carried out, the information on characteristics and clinical outcome of critically ill elderly patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to COVID-19 is scarce. Studies exclusively designed for these patients are limited. Data derived from these studies and additionally from studies analyzing critically ill elderly patients as a subset of the whole ICU population with COVID-19, support that advanced age along with comorbidities are associated with worse clinical outcome. |
