Outcomes in Hospitalized Older Patients With COVID-19

University Hospital, Geneva230 enrolled

Overview

In December 2019, the first patients infected with the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) were diagnosed in Wuhan. The clinical presentation and course of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is poorly understood in older patients and is certainly different from the general population. This project is designed to better understand and to determine clinical, biological and radiological markers of poor adverse outcomes in hospitalized older patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
