Background: Studies have shown that frailty was increased in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. However, it is not clear whether non-severe COVID-19 increases the risk for pre-frailty and frailty development. Our study aimed to determine the risk of developing frailty and pre-frailty in robust veterans who contracted non-severe COVID-19.

- The study investigated how high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values correlate with inpatient mortality and clinical outcomes in older veterans hospitalized with COVID-19.
- Researchers analyzed data from 615 hospitalized veterans, finding that higher NLR values were linked to increased rates of inpatient mortality and ICU admissions.
- The findings suggest that the NLR score can help predict the risk of death in older COVID-19 patients, making it a potentially valuable clinical tool.
