Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Sarcopenia is disease associated with poor clinical outcomes. In critical ill chirurgical patients, sarcopenia is associated with difficult to wean of mechanical ventilation. The association between sarcopenia and mechanical ventilation is poorly studied in medical patients. COVID-19 pandemic has led a lot of medical patient to be admitted in intensive care units due to acute respiratory failure with need of mechanical ventilation support.

The primary objective is to determine if sarcopenia in critically-ill older patients with COVID-19 is associated with the indication of mechanical ventilation. Secondarily, the study aims at determining if sarcopenia is associated with difficult to wean and mortality in critically-ill older patients with COVID-19.

Inclusion Criteria

* Consecutive patients aged 60 and older
* Admission in an acute care unit in Brugmann university hospital due to a COVID-19 possible or confirmed infection. A infection was considered confirmed in presence of a positive molecular test by Polymerase-chain reaction (PCR), following the Belgian Public Health Department recommendations (Sciensano recommendations).
