Trial summary

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.

About this study

Official title: COVIDAge Study- Hospital Des Trois-Chêne

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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the relative contributions of comorbidities on intra-hospitalized death

    We measure functional score of comorbidities

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To evaluate the relative contributions of functional characteristics on intra-hospitalized death

    We measure Functional Independence Measure scale

    Measured: 1 month

  2. To explore specific clinical profiles that may influence COVID-19 disease outcomes in the elderly based on geriatrics syndromes

    We describe the role fo geriatric syndrome such as delirium, falls

    Measured: 1 month
