ObjectivesTo analyse different background factors that may serve as predictors for acquiring symptoms of severe COVID‐19 disease.MethodsA postal questionnaire was sent to the total population of individuals born between 1942 (80 years, n = 6299) and 1932 (90 years, n = 1904) living in the Örebro and Östergötland counties, Sweden, in 2017 and repeated in 2022. Tentative predictive factors for self‐reported severe COVID‐19 disease were based on the responses from the 2017 questionnaire related to general and oral health and prior to the outbreak of the COVID‐19 pandemic.ResultsResponse rate to the main questionnaire in 2022 was 66% (5375/8203), and 577 reported having been sick with COVID‐19 out of which 359 agreed to answer a separate questionnaire on COVID‐19. This questionnaire was returned by 278/359 of the participants corresponding to a response rate of 77%. Information gleaned from the 2017 pre‐COVID‐19 survey revealed a relatively large number of associations between severity of subsequently self‐reported COVID‐19 disease and several diverse tentative related factors found in unadjusted regression analyses. Based on statistically significant correlations in the adjusted regression analysis, significant predictive factors (based on self‐reports from 2017) for contracting severe COVID‐19 were in decreasing order of odds ratios (OR): reported removable partial or complete denture usage (OR 6.2, CI 2.2–17.2); reported periodontal problems in the past year (OR 3.4, CI 1.1–10.4); and reported daytime dry mouth (OR 2.5, CI 1.2–5.2).ConclusionRemovable dentures, periodontal problems and daytime dry mouth were predictors for developing symptoms of severe COVID‐19 disease.

RESUMO: Objetivo: identificar as alterações cognitivas e funcionais mais frequentes em pessoas idosas após a fase aguda da COVID-19. Método: revisão integrativa da literatura com busca de artigos nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed e Scopus, entre junho e julho de 2024. A seleção foi realizada independentemente por dois revisores e validada por um terceiro revisor. Foram incluídos os estudos originais primários que envolveram participantes com maioria ou mediana de idade superior a 60 anos, com alterações cognitivas e funcionais pós-COVID-19. Resultados: observou-se a heterogeneidade nas amostras, com vasto espectro de características clínicas, sendo as mais prevalentes: dispneia, fadiga, alterações no padrão de sono e déficit cognitivo. Conclusão: os resultados contribuem para uma melhor avaliação e conduta. Apontam a necessidade de criação de protocolos específicos de atendimento às pessoas idosas com síndrome pós-COVID-19 e desenvolvimento de intervenções mais adequadas e direcionadas à prevenção, redução ou minimização dos sintomas persistentes.

Objective: To identify the most frequent cognitive and functional changes in elderly people after the acute phase of COVID-19. Method: Integrative literature review with a search for articles in the LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Scopus databases, between June and July 2024. The selection was conducted independently by two reviewers and validated by a third reviewer. Original primary studies were included that involved participants with a majority or median age over 60 years, with post-COVID-19 cognitive and functional changes. Results: Heterogeneity was observed in the samples, with a wide range of clinical characteristics, the most prevalent being: dyspnea, fatigue, changes in sleep patterns, and cognitive deficit. Conclusion: The results contribute to a better assessment and conduct. They point to the need to create specific care protocols for elderly people with post-COVID-19 syndrome and to develop more appropriate and targeted interventions for the prevention, reduction, or minimization of persistent symptoms.
