Background/Objectives: During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic currently ongoing worldwide, several challenges were encountered in managing patients in out-of-hospital residences. The aim of this study is to establish a risk score indicating the probability of SARS-CoV-2 infection and estimate the seroprevalence in nursing homes. Design: This is a retrospective cross-sectional observational study. Participants and Setting: 231 patients (median age 86 years, min 53 max 100 years) were enrolled from three nursing homes of Pavia and its surroundings. Measurements: Medical history, clinical and instrumental data were correlated to the results of nasopharyngeal swab and serology. Results: Patients with positive nasopharyngeal swab and/or serology were 170 (74%, 95%CI: 67%-79%) and seroprevalence was 64%. Variables associated with COVID-19 infection used to build the clinical score were: anosmia and ageusia, pulse oximetry |
