Article Synopsis
- Limited data exists on prognostic factors and mortality in elderly residents of Long-Term Care facilities related to COVID-19, highlighting an urgent need for further research.
- The study focused on elderly patients (≥ 65 years) in Ferrara, Italy, utilizing binary regression logistic analysis and survival models to assess predictors of mortality, which included demographic and clinical variables.
- Key findings indicated that the lack of a negative nasal swab test at discharge and higher levels of frailty were strong mortality predictors, while age and comorbidities were found to be less significant.
