A Comparison of Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes in Elderly and Younger Patients with COVID-19.

CONCLUSIONS Elderly patients with confirmed COVID-19 were more likely to develop ARDS and cardiac injury than younger patients and were more likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit. In addition to routine monitoring and respiratory support, cardiac monitoring and supportive care should be a focus in elderly patients with COVID-19. PMID: 32720649 [PubMed - in process]
