Abstract

The impact of COVID-19 varies by age group, and it has become clear that individuals over 65 years are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 both in terms of severity of illness and mortality. Atypical presentations in older adults may result from pathophysiologic changes during aging and immune dysregulation because of the cumulative impact of chronic comorbidities. Herein we review the different clinical presentations of illness for older adults, the unique challenges faced by this population, and strategies for treatment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
