Although age has been widely reported as a major risk factor for severe COVID-19 and death, no large geriatric cohort of older patients hospitalized in a geriatric ward has been described. The objective of this multicentric French retrospective study was to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of a large cohort of older patients with confirmed COVID-19 who were admitted to acute care geriatric wards and to determine the prognostic factors of in-hospital mortality. ./cache/cord-268531-igjeai8c.txt ./txt/cord-268531-igjeai8c.txt
