Mortality rates in hospital patients admitted for COVID-19 in the medium acute care unit

Age	Number of admitted patients	Mortality, number (percentage)	Mortality in the non COVID-19 era (percentage) (%)
< 55	273	12 (4%)	1
55–64	296	29 (10%)	3
65–74	506	119 (24%)	4

The table shows the number of patients admitted to our Covid Towers by different age groups, number, frequency of deaths; and frequency of deaths observed in the previous years

A chi-square test of independence was performed to examine the relation between age and the mortality; p < 0.00001
