Our review included studies in which patients were recruited between March 2020 and December 2021 and therefore not all patients could have been vaccinated. The 12 included studies in this review consisted of seven descriptive cohort studies, one pre-post intervention cohort, one quasi experimental study and three case series highlighting a dearth of robust experimental studies or analytical cohort studies describing the effect of multidisciplinary rehabilitation on the outcomes of older adults in the acute or post-acute setting following COVID-19 to facilitate systematic review and meta-analysis. Factors influencing home discharge after inpatient rehabilitation of Older adults required ICU admission in seven out of 12 studies ranging from 23 to 100% of their total cohort [41, 43, 44, 46, 47, 49, 50]. Since this time, the body of evidence has grown significantly to include longitudinal studies exploring clinical progression, symptoms, and rehabilitation recommendations [18,19,20]. Some studies did describe patients need for supplementary oxygen [41, 44, 50] on discharge, reporting prevalence of 4 and 58%. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today issued a final rule that empowers patients to make informed decisions about their care as they are discharged from acute care into post-acute care (PAC), a process called discharge planning. In addition to improving quality by improving these care transitions, todays rule supports CMS interoperability efforts by promoting the seamless exchange of patient information between health care settings, and ensuring that a patients health care information follows them after discharge from a hospital or PAC provider. Medicare-covered inpatient rehabilitation care includes: Seven studies reported discharge disposition of older adults. However, there are cases of unvaccinated cohorts internationally due to inequity in vaccine roll out with the WHO reporting only 25% of older adults have had a complete series of vaccines in lower income countries [80].

Furthermore, to explore potential explanations of heterogeneity, moderator analysis was conducted where sufficient data was available. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed independently and in duplicate by two reviewers (AMC, RG). There were two case report/case series of high quality in this systematic review satisfactorily meeting all criteria in the JBI checklist(43, 48). Common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, dry cough, and fatigue; less commonly people experience headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting [3].
