COVID19: Some basic facts

Of admitted patients 30% will require critical care, 70% will require other healthcare

50% of those hospitalised are over 70 years old

Sarcopeania is underlyingly more prevalent in this age group

Average length of stay for admitted patients is 10.4 days

In older people 10.4 days of hospitalisation = 10 years of muscle loss

Reduced physical condition delays discharge

A high proportion of these patients will have reduced ability to participate in activities of daily living when recovering from Covid 19

It can be used in the acute and community setting across health and social care sectors
