Abstract

Aim: To describe associations between functionality, frailty, comorbidity, cognitive and affective status and mortality in a cohort of survivors older patients after hospital admission for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Findings: Severe frailty pre-admission and severe functional dependency at discharge were associated with an increased risk of mortality and readmission at three months. In addition, high comorbidity or the need for readmission was also associated with mortality at 3 months. Message: The knowledge of Health status in older people after hospitalization for COVID-19, means that its early detection can contribute to the selection of patients with greater risk of sequelae in the short term that require more careful follow-up.
