Abstract

Background: COVID-19 has currently well-described signs and symptoms. However, older adults often present with an atypical condition, which can confuse and delay diagnosis and treatment. Summary: A scoping review was performed according to Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and prepared using the PRISMA-ScR. It included 61 studies. The objectives were to identify the atypical symptoms of COVID-19 in older adults and summarize and synthesize the evidence regarding the clinical outcomes of older adults with atypical presentations of COVID-19. Fifty-eight atypical symptoms were identified. Geriatric syndromes were the most prevalent atypical presentations of COVID-19. The prevalence of older adults with atypical presentation was 29 ± 18.45%. The mortality rate of older adults with atypical presentation was 28.3 ± 10.26 (17–37%). Key Messages: This scoping review showed that geriatric syndromes represent a frequent atypical presentation of COVID-19 in older adults. It is necessary to give visibility to those presentations in older populations with COVID-19 to advance the required interventions.

老年人中COVID-19的非典型表现:范围综述

& lt; b> & lt; i>背景:& lt; / i> & lt; / b>COVID-19目前有明确的体征和症状。然而，老年人经常出现非典型症状，这可能会混淆和延误诊断和治疗。& lt; b> & lt; i>简介:& lt; / i> & lt; / b>根据Joanna Briggs研究所的方法进行范围审查，并使用PRISMA-ScR进行准备。它包括61项研究。目的是识别老年人COVID-19的不典型症状，总结和综合有关老年人COVID-19不典型表现的临床结局的证据。发现了58种非典型症状。老年综合征是COVID-19最常见的非典型表现。表现不典型的老年人患病率为29±18.45%。表现不典型的老年人病死率为28.3±10.26(17-37%)。& lt; b> & lt; i>关键信息:& lt; / i> & lt; / b>这一范围审查表明，老年综合征是老年人中常见的COVID-19非典型表现。有必要让感染COVID-19的老年人群了解这些情况，以推进所需的干预措施。
