Background: Only limited studies analyzed a possible relationship between frailty and infections. Our aim was to investigate the possible association between higher multidimensional prognostic index (MPI) values, a tool for evaluating multidimensional frailty, and the prevalence of infectious diseases, including antibiotics' cost and the prevalence of MDR (multidrug resistance) pathogens. Methods: Older patients, affected by COVID-19, were enrolled in the hospital of Palermo over fourmonths. Results: 112 participants (mean age 77.6, 55.4% males) were included.
