Samples were taken from patients aged 60-90 years old at RS X(n=266). The study relied on secondary data from April 2020 to February 2021, and descriptive data analysis was used to analyze the results. According to the result, 44.7% were 60-64 years old, 61.3% were male, 42.9%, had LoS of > 7 days. The most common underlying diseases were coagulation defects (61.3%), essential hypertension (44.7%), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (39.5 %). The most frequent treatments and procedures were chest X-Ray (94.7%), RT-PCR swab (91%), and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (32.7%).
