Abstract

Key Points
• Older adults hospitalised with COVID-19 presented earlier and had improved outcomes in the second wave compared with the first.
• Higher frailty score is associated with higher COVID-19
mortality but it is important to avoid nihilism.
• Geriatricians/Gerontologists should be involved early in
pandemic preparedness planning.
• Trial population demographics should match future treatment populations.
