During the COVID19 pandemic, older patients hospitalized for COVID-19 exhibited an increased mortality risk compared to younger patients. While ageing is associated with compromised immune responses and frailty, their contributions interplay remain understudied. This study investigated association between inflammatory markers potential modification by frailty among COVID-19.
