delirium were four times more likely to die during the hospital stay compared to those without delirium (4).

In sum, this is a fascinating report, and it provides excellent insight into the prognostic value of BMI and malnutrition regarding in-hospital COVID-19 related mortality among older adults living with frailty. However, clarifying the above-mentioned points will help the readers to interpret the study findings accurately.
