Overall, the extent of lung consolidation can be confirmed as a prognostic parameter of COVID-19 pneumonia in older patients. Among various serum-derived markers, miR-483-5p can help in exploring the degree of lung involvement, due to its association with higher GGO% and lower HL%. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; ••: ••-••.
