Clinical Outcomes of Older Persons and Persons with Dementia Admitted for Coronavirus Disease 2019: Findings from the Philippine CORONA Study.
Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders 2023 January 27
INTRODUCTION: The Philippine CORONA Study was a multicenter, retrospective, cohort study of 10,881 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admissions between February and December 2020.
METHODS: Subgroup analysis was done on clinical outcomes of mortality, respiratory failure, duration of ventilator dependence, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, length of ICU stay, and length of hospital stay among older persons and persons with dementia.
RESULTS: The adjusted hazard ratios for mortality among the mild and severe cases were significantly higher by 3.93, 95% CI [2.81, 5.50] and by 1.81, 95% CI [1.43, 2.93], respectively, in older persons compared to younger adults. The adjusted hazard ratios for respiratory failure in older persons were increased by 2.65, 95% CI [1.92, 3.68] and by 1.27, 95% CI [1.01, 1.59] among the mild and severe cases, respectively. The adjusted hazard ratio for ICU admission in older persons was higher by 1.95, 95% CI [1.47, 2.59] among the mild cases. The adjusted hazard ratios for mortality and ICU admission in persons with dementia were higher by 7.25, 95% CI [2.67, 19.68] and by 4.37, 95% CI [1.08, 17.63], respectively, compared to those without dementia.
CONCLUSION: Older age and dementia significantly increased the risk of mortality, respiratory failure, and ICU admission among COVID-19 patients.
