| Core Tip |
The records of 234 patients who were 65-years-old or more and were hospitalized in Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital because of coronavirus disease 2019 from February 4 to March 4, 2020 were reviewed. The results indicated that age and chronic disease were not associated with an increased risk of mortality. Hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease were the most common comorbidities, and the most common symptoms were fever, dry cough, fatigue and shortness of breath. Lymphocytopenia and increased levels of D-dimer and other markers indicative of damage to the heart, kidneys or liver were associated with an increased risk of death. |
