Original articles that answered the guiding question were included: what scientific knowledge is available in the world about COVID-19 in older adults? Results: thirty-one articles were included, most of them carried out in China (n=23) and with a retrospective design (n=13) and case studies/case serie… Show more

“…Regarding the care characteristics, the need for ventilatory support was also found in other studies 10,[12][13][14] , similar to the present research. In a similar fashion, a scoping review identified a higher proportion of aged individuals who needed to be admitted to the ICU when compared to younger individuals 9 . Some of the most frequent signs and symptoms in the present study, such as shortness of breath, oxygen saturation <95%, and respiratory distress, are consistent with severe cases of covid-19 4 .…”

“…Factors associated with hospitalization in covid-19 patients are reported in scientific literature, with advanced age being a notable one 6,7 . Aged individuals exhibit particularities, including physiological changes associated with the aging process and the presence of chronic diseases that account for clinical severity 8 , consequently leading to a higher occurrence of hospitalizations for covid-19 in this population 6,9 .…”

“…Quanto às características de atendimento, a necessidade de suporte ventilatório foi encontrada em outros estudos estudos 10,[12][13][14] . De forma semelhante, uma scoping review identificou maior proporção de pessoas idosas que precisaram ser internadas em UTI, quando comparada à de jovens 9 . Alguns dos sinais e sintomas mais frequentes no presente estudo, como dispneia, saturação de oxigênio <95% e desconforto respiratório condizem com casos graves da covid-19 4 , o que pode explicar a necessidade de suporte ventilatório e internação em UTI.…”

“…Apesar das frequentes formas respiratórias graves e fatores de risco, pessoas idosas hospitalizadas por covid-19 sobrevivem à infecção 17 . Destaca-se que desde o início da pandemia da covid-19, a idade avançada tem sido apontada como fator de risco para desfechos negativos 9,34 , porém, verifica-se que uma parcela de casos pode ter evoluído para cura, possivelmente, devido ao desenvolvimento de terapêuticas e vacinas, que mostraram resultados positivos sobre a gravidade dos casos e taxas de mortalidade 4 .…”
