In-hospital outcomes in patients with and without epilepsy diagnosed with COVID-19 - A cohort study.

People with COVID-19 who had epilepsy had higher odds of non-routine discharge and longer LOS but not higher mortality. Older age (>65), ventilator use, and higher CCI were associated with COVID 19 mortality in epilepsy. This suggests that older adults with epilepsy and multimorbidity are more vulnerable than those without and should be closely monitored in the setting of COVID-19.
