Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to estimate COVID-19-related hospitalizations in Australia following the reopening of international borders under different scenarios involving virus transmissibility and vaccination rates.

  • The results indicated that reopening borders, particularly with highly transmissible variants, could lead to significant surges in hospitalizations, necessitating ongoing public health measures to manage outbreaks effectively throughout 2022.*

Objectives: Multimorbidity is common in the older population, but the impact of combinations of chronic conditions on disability and quality of life (QoL) is not well known.
