The COPE Study	2020-09-21		.txt	text/plain	2470	151	60	Our aims were to assess the prevalence of frailty in older patients hospitalised with COVID-19, their sex and age distribution, and the completion rate of the CFS tool in evaluating frailty. Results: A total of 1277 older patients with COVID-19, aged ≥ 65 (79.9 ± 8.1) years were included in the study, with 98.5% having fully completed CFS. In this European multi-centre cohort study-the COVID-19 in Older People (COPE) study -we aim to describe frailty prevalence estimates in more detail in older people hospitalised with COVID-19, their sex and age distribution, and the completion rate of the CFS. The COPE study primary aims are to evaluate the association of frailty with clinical outcomes and mortality in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19; a full study protocol can be found elsewhere [7] . Our results show that the prevalence of frailty is high (66.9%), when assessed using the CFS in a population aged 65 years and above hospitalised with COVID-19.	./cache/cord-254218-2wsf7xix.txt	./txt/cord-254218-2wsf7xix.txt
