Description
Natalia R Domino and co-authors present a 2023 study of COVID-19 admissions at a hospital in southern Brazil across two pandemic phases. Brazil saw waves with distinct traits, and the Gamma variant arose there and drove a second wave. The team compared patient profiles and outcomes between the two periods.
Records covered 2,887 patients admitted from March 2020 to July 2021 at one university hospital. Men were the majority in both periods, and the median age was lower in the second. Illness burden from other conditions was much the same. Many traits linked to worse severity in each period. Yet outcomes did not differ notably between the wild-type first wave and the Gamma second wave, which suggests Gamma spread fast without being more deadly.
