Key summary points Aim According to age, there are differences in the clinical profile, presentation, management, and short-term outcomes of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the Emergency Department. Findings A statistically significant association was found between demographic data, comorbidities, clinical, radiographic, analytical, and therapeutic variables and short-term results according to age-dependent categories. Age was a prognostic factor for hospital admission and in-hospital and 30-day mortality, and was associated with not being admitted to intensive care. Message Clinical presentation, management, and short-term outcomes differ according to age among patients with COVID19 admitted to the Emergency Department. Abstract Purpose To determine the differences by age-dependent categories in the clinical profile, presentation, management, and short-term outcomes of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 admitted to a Spanish Emergency Department (ED). Methods Secondary analysis of COVID-19_URG-HCSC registry. We included all consecutive patients with laboratoryconfirmed COVID-19 admitted to the ED of the University Hospital Clinico San Carlos (Madrid, Spain). The population was divided into six age groups. Demographic, baseline and acute clinical data, and in-hospital and 30-day outcomes were collected. Results 1379 confirmed COVID-19 cases (mean age 62 (SD 18) years old; 53.5% male) were included (18.1%
