Objectives: Initial data on COVID-19 infection has pointed out a special vulnerability of older adults.Design: We performed a meta-analysis with available national reports on May 7, 2020 from China, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, and New York State. Analyses were performed by a random effects model, and sensitivity analyses were performed for the identification of potential sources of heterogeneity.Setting and participants: COVID-19epositive patients reported in literature and national reports.Measures: All-cause mortality by age.Results: A total of 611,1583 subjects were analyzed and 141,745 (23.2%) were aged >= 80 years. The percentage of octogenarians was different in the 5 registries, the lowest being in China (3.2%) and the highest in the United Kingdom and New York State. The overall mortality rate was 12.10% and it varied widely between countries, the lowest being in China (3.1%) and the highest in the United Kingdom (20.8%) and New York State (20.99%). Mortality was 50 years and, especially, >60 years. Older adult patients should be prioritized in the implementation of preventive measures.
