502 OUTCOMES OF HOSPITALISED PATIENTS WITH COVID-19 SIX MONTHS AFTER INDEX ADMISSION (Age and Ageing)
 


AbstractIntroductionEarly outcomes for hospitalised patients with covid-19, including admissions to critical care and mortality have been widely published. Less is known about the longer-term patient outcomes such as readmissions, deaths after discharge and level of care required on discharge.MethodsFollowing an audit of 360 consecutive admissions of patients with covid-19 requiring level 1 inpatient care in spring 2020, we collated data about mortality, readmissions, and residential status for the same cohort at six months after index admission.ResultsThe cohort had a median age of 78: 70% survived to discharge. Median length of stay was nine days (range 1–90). Of 252 patients discharged, a further 35 (14%) had died by six-month follow-up. 95 patients (38%) required at least one further hospital admission in the following six-month period. 40 (16%) of discharged patient required increased support, defined as new or increased package of care or an alternative interim or permanent change of residence. (Table 1). Table 1 emailed separately as will not transfer into this space Of the 40 patients requiring increased support on discharge, 7 (18%) died, 15 (38%) returned to their preadmission residential status, and 17 (43%) still required increased support.ConclusionsCovid-19 has a high mortality rate in those admitted to hospital. Patients receiving level 1 care in hospital and surviving to discharge have a high risk of readmission or death in the following six-months. For those requiring increased support on discharge, the majority do not return to their pre-admission residential status.
