Mortality and functional outcomes 18 months after hospitalization for COVID-19 in geriatric patients: a multicentric cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few data are available on the long-term mortality and functional status of geriatric patients surviving after hospitalization for COVID-19. We compared the mortality and functional status 18 months after hospitalization for geriatric patients who were hospitalized for COVID-19 or another diagnosis.

Methods

This was a multicentric cohort study in Paris from January to June 2021. We included patients aged 75 years and over who were hospitalized with COVID-19 or not during this period and compared their vital and functional status 18 months after hospitalization.

Results

We included 254 patients (63 hospitalized for COVID-19). As compared with patients hospitalized for other reasons, those hospitalized for COVID-19 were younger (mean [SD] age 86 [6.47] vs. 88
