Highlights |
• | Crude in-hospital mortality was similar regardless of treatment code status in elderly COVID-19 patients. |
• | Higher one-year mortality in DNR patients paralleled greater frailty/comorbidities. |
• | Functional decline occurred in both groups after discharge. |
• | Support shared decision-making: assess frailty early and document code-status discussions. |
