T41 0-24 Sentence denotes COVID-19 and the Elderly
T42 25-260 Sentence denotes The risk posed by COVID-19 is higher for elderly people than for younger people.[2] For this reason, medical and political authorities should offer older adults strict preventive measures to minimise the risk of exposure and infection.
T43 261-438 Sentence denotes In the event that an effective vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 is developed, priority should be given to vaccination of the elderly, with the aim of maximising the number of lives saved.
T44 439-542 Sentence denotes This is also true for other preventive measures, such as possible pre- or post-exposure prophylaxis.[7]
T45 543-607 Sentence denotes In the case of people with COVID-19, the situation is different.
T46 608-768 Sentence denotes When allocating resources in these scenarios, healthcare professionals might prioritise those most likely to survive over those with remote chances of survival.
T47 769-831 Sentence denotes Making a decision based on chronological age is not justified.
T48 832-936 Sentence denotes In addition to age, other aspects that determine theoretical life expectancy must be taken into account.
T49 937-1052 Sentence denotes Biological age and the use of frailty scales and comprehensive geriatric assessment are essential for this purpose.
T50 1053-1428 Sentence denotes The recent statement of the Executive Board of the European Geriatric Medicine Society insists that advanced age alone should not be a criterion for excluding patients from specialised hospital units.[8] If an elderly patient is dismissed from a specialised hospital unit for any reason, access to medical attention, symptomatic treatment and palliative care must be ensured.
T51 1429-1619 Sentence denotes This last point is essential, as palliative care is frequently suboptimal in elderly patients with other conditions, such as heart failure, and this is probably the case in COVID-19.[2,9,10]
T52 1621-1668 Sentence denotes Therapeutic Adaptation after COVID-19 Admission
T53 1669-1857 Sentence denotes In patients with advanced age who are admitted to hospital due to a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is very important to establish a therapeutic adaptation plan from the time of admission.
T54 1858-2120 Sentence denotes This plan should be clearly documented in the clinical history, making it clear whether or not the patient is a candidate for mechanical ventilation and, in case of their condition worsening, when to propose the withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies (Table 1).
T55 2121-2287 Sentence denotes Decisions that maximise survival to hospital discharge, the number of years of life saved and the possibility of living each of the stages of life can be prioritised.
T56 2288-2467 Sentence denotes In this regard, patients with minimal expected benefit should not be admitted to ICU and the admission of patients with a life expectancy <1–2 years should be carefully evaluated.
T57 2468-2505 Sentence denotes This applies to patients of all ages.
T58 2506-2600 Sentence denotes A utilitarian mentality should be applied, which should prevent prejudice against the elderly.
T59 2601-2820 Sentence denotes For example, a frail elderly patient might have a low chance of surviving the prolonged intubation required to recover from COVID-19 pneumonia, but this is also the case for young patients with severe comorbidities.[11]
