Mortality
upin humans1
COVID-19 pandemic lockdown increases mortality in humans (from +74% for delirium/disorientation to +8% for fall/injury).
“Conversely, for almost all GS studied, excess mortality without COVID-19 was observed during this lockdown compared to 2015-17 (from +74% for delirium/disorientation to +8% for fall/injury)”

Geriatric syndromes hospitalizations
downin humans1
COVID-19 pandemic lockdown decreases geriatric syndromes hospitalizations in humans (from -59% for incontinence to -13% for femoral neck fractures).
“Hospitalization rates for all GS decreased during the first lockdown compared to the same periods in 2017-19 (from -59% for incontinence to -13% for femoral neck fractures).”
