Abstract

Centenarians are a rapidly growing patient population. Little is known about their clinical responses to respiratory tract infections. This study examines a cohort of centenarians admitted to a tertiary centre with multiplex polymerase chain reaction-confirmed respiratory tract infections to characterise clinical characteristics and management outcomes better. Despite multiple comorbidities and frailty, the overall mortality rate and outcomes appeared favourable.
