Herein, we aimed to systematically review the mortality in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID\u201019) patients and its predictors in this age group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct using relevant keywords.

A review of articles revealed that increasing age, body mass index, a male gender, dementia, impairment or dependency in daily activities, presence of consolidations on chest X\u2010ray, hypoxemic respiratory failure, and lower oxygen saturation at admission were risk factors for death. High <jats:sc>d<\/jats:sc>\u2010dimer levels, 25\u2010hydroxy\u00a0vitamin D serum deficiencies, high C\u2010reactive protein (\u22655\u2009mg\/L) levels plus any other abnormalities of lymphocyte, higher blood urea nitrogen or lactate dehydrogenase, and higher platelet count were predictors of poor prognosis and mortality in the elderly. Studies have also shown that previous treatment with renin\u2013angiotensin\u2013aldosterone system inhibitors, pharmacological treatments of respiratory disorders, antibiotics, corticosteroids, vitamin K antagonist, antihistamines, azithromycin, Itolizumab (an anti\u2010CD6 monoclonal antibody) in combination with other antivirals reduces COVID\u201019 worsening and mortality. Vaccination against seasonal influenza might also reduce COVID\u201019 mortality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, a critical consideration is necessary for the care and management of COVID\u201019 in the aged population considering the drastic contrasts in manifestation and prognosis compared to other age groups. Mortality from COVID\u201019 is independently associated with the patient's age. Elderly patients with COVID\u201019 are more vulnerable to poor outcomes. Thus, strict preventive measures, timely diagnosis, and aggressive therapeutic\/nontherapeutic care are of great importance to reduce acute respiratory distress syndrome and severe complications in older people.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.657","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,23]],"date-time":"2022-05-23T10:55:42Z","timestamp":1653303342000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":116,"title":["<i>Retracted<\/i>: COVID\u201019 mortality and its predictors in the elderly: A systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9385-2170","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Omid","family":"Dadras","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Iranian Research Center for HIV\/AIDS, Iranian Institute for Reduction of High\u2010Risk Behaviors Tehran Iran"},{"name":"Department of Global Public Health and Primary Care University of Bergen Bergen Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3210-7905","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"SeyedAhmad","family":"SeyedAlinaghi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Iranian Research Center for HIV\/AIDS, Iranian Institute for Reduction of High\u2010Risk Behaviors Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amirali","family":"Karimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine Tehran University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmadreza","family":"Shamsabadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Technology Esfarayen Faculty of Medical Sciences Esfarayen Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kowsar","family":"Qaderi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences Kermanshah Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maryam","family":"Ramezani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Management, Policy and Economics School of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seyed Peyman","family":"Mirghaderi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine Tehran University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Mahdiabadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine Tehran University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Farzin","family":"Vahedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine Tehran University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Solmaz","family":"Saeidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing University of Medical Sciences;
