The average age of patients who died and a positive COVID-2019 is 81 years,
are mainly men and more than two thirds of cases have three or
most pre-existing conditions. This was stated by an analysis on the data of 105
Italian patients who died March 4, conducted by the Institute
Of Health, which emphasizes that there are 20 years of
difference between the average age of the deceased and that of positive patients
to the virus.
The report concerns the patients who died and is based on data obtained
by filling in a questionnaire specifically developed for
the detection of cases of death.
The average age of patients taken under consideration is 81 years, 20 years
higher than that of patients who have contracted the infection, and
Women are 28 (26.7%).
Most of the 42.2% deaths there was in the age group between
80 and 89 years, while 32.4% were between 70 and 79, 8.4% from 60 to 69, 2.8%
between 50 and 59 and 14.1% over 90 years.
The women died after contracting by COVID-2019 infection have
age higher than men (median age 83.4 women - ages
men median 79.9). The average number of diseases observed in this
population is 3.4 (median 3, standard deviation 2.1).
Overall, 15.5% of the sample showed 0 or 1 pathologies,
18.3% showed 2 pathologies and 67.2% showed 3 or more
pathologies. The most represented comorbidity is hypertension (present
in 74.6% of the sample), followed by ischemic heart disease (70.4%) and
diabetes mellitus (33.8%).
The median time from symptom onset to hospital admission is
It was 5 days and the median time elapsed between hospitalization and
the death was of four days. "Although preliminary, these data
confirm the observations made so far in the rest of
world in the most patient characteristics - comments
President Silvio Brusaferro ISS - in particular the fact that
the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions are most at
risk. These are very vulnerable people, who often live in
closely and that we must protect as much as possible. "
