Doctors tally COVID-19’s toll on hospitalized patients: ‘It’s costly and it’s deadly’

LA Times  

Registered nurse Kat Yi holds an iPad so that COVID-19 patient Eduardo Rojas can speak to his wife, Angelica, from the ICU at Providence St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton in December. A new study of nearly 200,000 adults hospitalized with COVID-19 in hundreds of medical centers across the U.S. found that the oldest patients were 19 times more likely to die than the youngest patients. “It’s a debilitating disease; it’s costly and it’s deadly,” said Dr. Ninh Ngyuen, a gastrointestinal surgeon at UC Irvine Medical Center who led the study. Richardson praised the study for providing a “bigger picture” of the patterns among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. “It would have been nice to see if that played out in their data and the percent of younger people admitted to hospitals with COVID increased over time.” Asch said it would have been useful to see how these mortality rates varied among hospitals, given that the death rates between hospitals can be dramatically different, as his previous work showed.
