Primary Outcomes

Description: The aim of the project is to evaluate whether a tool built to measure frailty in elderly patients admitted to the COVID + hospital wards of San Gerardo hospital is more accurate in predicting clinical states than a clinical evaluation developed on age and comorbidity.

Measure: Development of a tool to measure frailty

Time: Until patient discharge from the hospital (approximately 1 year).

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Assess whether a "proxy" variable of the fragility index can be built on the basis of regional administrative databases only, which is able to predict the clinical outcomes of COVID + patients better than age and comorbidities alone.

Measure: A "proxy" variable of the fragility index can be built on the basis of regional administrative databases only.

Time: Until patient discharge from the hospital (approximately 1 year).

---

Description: Relate different levels of chronicity with the susceptibility of the elderly subject to infection to give elements to focus the screening policies for COVID19.

Measure: Give elements to focus the screening policies for COVID19.

Time: Until patient discharge from the hospital (approximately 1 year).

---

Description: Relate different levels of chronicity with the susceptibility of the elderly subject to infection to prevent the contagion at the elderly population level.

Measure: Give the prevention of contagion at the elderly population level.

Time: Until patient discharge from the hospital (approximately 1 year).
