Abstract

Oldest-old patients may have an unusual SARS-COV2 presentation that can jeopardise diagnosis and management. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes of oldest-old (≥85 years) and old patients (75-85 years) admitted with COVID-19 to Belgian hospitals during the first wave of the pandemic.
