ABSTRACT
AIMS:
In this study, we aimed to reveal mortality rates and factors affecting survival in geriatric patients infected with COVID-19.METHODS:
This is a retrospective study of 873 geriatric patients with COVID-19 who were hospitalized between March 11, 2020 and March 11, 2021. Demographic, clinical, laboratory data, and treatment options were obtained from electronic medical records. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the risk factors for in-hospital death.RESULTS:
During the specified period, 643 patients were discharged, and 230 patients died in the hospital. The mean age was 75.08 ± 7.39 years (mean ± SD) and 51.8% were males. We found that older age (≥ 85), polypharmacy, dyspnea, abnormal thorax computed tomography (CT), lower doses of anticoagulation, and high values of white blood cell, aspartate aminotransferase, C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, ferritin were associated with a significant increase in mortality (P < 0.001 for all). Although all of these values were significant in multivariate logistic regression analysis, the most important ones were dyspnea (Odds ratio (OR) 57.916, 95% confidence interval (CI) 23.439-143.104, P < 0.001), polypharmacy (OR 6.782, 95% CI 3.082-14.927, P < 0.001), and thorax CT classification (typical; OR 9.633, 95% CI 2.511-37.122, P < 0.001).CONCLUSION:
Older age, polypharmacy, dyspnea, and abnormal thorax CT were the most significant mortality criteria and in addition appropriate anticoagulant use was associated with reduced mortality. Identifying the risk factors to predict mortality in older adults with COVID-19 is important to treat future cases successfully.Palabras clave
