Abstract

Objective: to identify the scientific evidence on the factors that are associated with morbidity and mortality from covid-19 in the elderly Methods: this is a scope review, carried out from a search in five databases/libraries. To guide the preparation of this study, the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute were followed. The PCC strategy was used to elaborate the following guiding question: what factors are associated with morbidity and mortality from covid-19 in the elderly? 38 articles were included in the final sample. Results: the presence of comorbidities, especially cardiovascular and endocrine diseases; advanced age; male; laboratory alterations, among other factors, may be predictive of worse clinical outcomes. Conclusion: the elderly population was one of the most affected by the pandemic and some factors corroborate a worse prognosis.

DESCRIPTORS: Aged; COVID-19; Indicators of Morbidity and Mortality; Review.
