This study aimed to determine the clinical neurological characteristics of geriatric patients with COVID-19. Methods. The study was an observational and descriptive study on 27 geriatric patients with COVID-19. All patients’ age was over 60 years old who treated in the In-patient Department of Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar on July 2020 to January 2021. The data had taken from medical records. Outcomes.

The majority of manifestations in this study were fever in 13 people (48.1%), unconsciousness in 10 people (37%), and hemiparesis in 10 people (37%), and cough in 9 people (33.3%). Conclusion. The clinical neurology characteristics of geriatric patients with COVID-19 vary, which may involve general and neurological manifestations. Promptly accurate diagnosis is necessary for further management. |
