What does this article add?
- Our study includes and represents older patients, with a median age of
75 years old (range 28-96) and more than a third over 80 years old.
- We found a high in-hospital mortality (26%), being notably higher
than the reported at the beginning of the pandemic in China and the
first communications from Italy and the United States.
- We found that a high burden of comorbidities and high C-reactive
protein values were independent risk factors for mortality or ICU
admission.
