Abstract (EN)

It is a known fact that COVID-19 disease has high morbidity and mortality in advanced ages. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a relationship between frailty and mortality in COVID-19 patients over the age of 65, and to determine whether there is a difference in frailty levels before and after the disease in patients who have had COVID-19 disease and have been discharged after completing the treatment. Thus, we aim to report the link between the COVID-19 disease and vulnerability levels of the society in our country.
