Article Synopsis
- Research aimed to compare COVID-19 impacts between older adults in long-term care facilities (LTCF) and those living in the community, focusing on clinical and epidemiological differences, hospital management, and outcomes.
- Among hospitalized patients aged 75 and older, LTCF residents were found to be older, more likely to have functional dependence, comorbidities, and dementia, and had shorter symptom durations than community-dwelling peers.
- Key mortality risk factors for LTCF residents included severe functional dependence and hypoxia; however, after adjusting for other factors, their in-hospital mortality rate was lower than initially observed.
