Frailty a better prognostic factor than age for predicting Covid-19 survival

Research from Karolinska Institutet shows that the degree of frailty, a measure of a person’s functional level before contracting the disease, can better predict Covid-19 survival than the patient’s age. The analysis of 250 multimorbid older adults who received care for Covid-19 at the Aging Theme at Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge, Sweden also shows […]
