The GeroCovid e-Registry is a European de-identified clinical data electronic registry of geriatric patients at risk or suffering from COVID-19 (suspected and confirmed cases) observed since 1st March 2020 in the participating investigational sites.
Older adults (≥ 65 years) and pre-geriatric population (≥60 years and <65 years) are the ones
most at risk from complications of COVID-19, including increased mortality, possibly in
relationship with their comorbidity and frailty status.
The GeroCovid e-registry is intended to track Covid-19 pandemic impact on the general
geriatric population and on age/care-setting related sub-populations.
The analysis of results is expected to facilitate the adoption of optimal standard of
geriatric care during the pandemic.
