Centenarian Mortality Rate During COVID-19: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Marked by high mortality rates on a global scale, with disease mortality being notably focused among older adults, the COVID-19 pandemic has become a significant health crisis. Despite the numerous publications on COVID-19 mortality among older adults, there is still a gap in knowledge when considering centenarians, as there is no systematic review and meta-analysis that summarizes COVID-19 mortality in centenarians globally.

Objective

This study aims to systematically review and synthesize global evidence on COVID-19 mortality rates among centenarians and the population of older adults worldwide, whether residing in long-term health facilities, hospitals, or their homes.

Methods

An automated search was conducted on the following databases: PubMed, Scopus,
