IMPORTANCE
With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to assess the current burden of disease of community-acquired SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in hospitalized patients to tailor appropriate public health policies. Comparisons with better-known seasonal influenza infections may facilitate such decisions.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the in-hospital outcomes of patients hospitalized with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant with patients with influenza.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This cohort study was based on a national COVID-19 and influenza registry. Hospitalized patients aged 18 years and older with community-acquired SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant infection who were admitted between January 15 and March 15, 2022 (when B.1.1.529 Omicron predominance was >95%), and hospitalized patients with influenza A or B infection from January 1, 2018, to March 15, 2022, where included. Patients without a study outcome by August 30, 2022, were censored. The study was conducted at 15 hospitals in Switzerland.
EXPOSURES
Community-acquired SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant vs community-acquired seasonal influenza A or B.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES
Primary and secondary outcomes were defined as in-hospital mortality and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) for patients with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant or influenza. Cox regression (cause-specific and Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard models) was used to account for time-dependency and competing events, with inverse probability weighting to adjust for confounders with right-censoring at day 30.
RESULTS
Of 5212 patients included from 15 hospitals, 3066 (58.8%) had SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant infection in 14 centers and 2146 patients (41.2%) had influenza A or B in 14 centers. Of patients with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, 1485 (48.4%) were female, while 1113 patients with influenza (51.9%) were female (P = .02). Patients with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant were younger (median [IQR] age, 71 [53-82] years) than those with influenza (median [IQR] age, 74 [59-83] years; P < .001). Overall, 214 patients with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant (7.0%) died during hospitalization vs 95 patients with influenza (4.4%; P < .001). The final adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio (sdHR) for in-hospital death for SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant vs influenza was 1.54 (95% CI, 1.18-2.01; P = .002). Overall, 250 patients with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant (8.6%) vs 169 patients with influenza (8.3%) were admitted to the ICU (P = .79). After adjustment, the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant was not significantly associated with increased ICU admission vs influenza (sdHR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.88-1.32; P = .50).
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE
The data from this prospective, multicenter cohort study suggest a significantly increased risk of in-hospital mortality for patients with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant vs those with influenza, while ICU admission rates were similar.
重要性
随着持续的 COVID-19 大流行,评估社区获得性 SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株在住院患者中的当前疾病负担至关重要,以便制定适当的公共卫生政策。与更为人熟知的季节性流感感染进行比较可能有助于做出此类决策。
目的
比较住院的 SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株患者与流感患者的住院结局。
设计、设置和参与者:本队列研究基于一项全国性的 COVID-19 和流感登记研究。纳入了 2022 年 1 月 15 日至 3 月 15 日期间因社区获得性 SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株感染而住院的年龄在 18 岁及以上的患者,以及 2018 年 1 月 1 日至 2022 年 3 月 15 日期间因感染甲型或乙型流感而住院的患者。截至 2022 年 8 月 30 日未出现研究结局的患者被删失。该研究在瑞士的 15 家医院进行。
暴露因素
社区获得性 SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株与社区获得性季节性甲型或乙型流感。
主要和次要结局
主要结局定义为 SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株或流感患者的住院死亡率,次要结局定义为因 SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株或流感而入住重症监护病房(ICU)的患者比例。采用因果特异性和 Fine-Gray 亚分布风险模型的 Cox 回归,以考虑时间依赖性和竞争事件,并使用逆概率加权法调整右删失的混杂因素。
结果
从 15 家医院纳入的 5212 例患者中,14 家中心的 3066 例(58.8%)患者感染了 SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株,14 家中心的 2146 例(41.2%)患者感染了甲型或乙型流感。在 SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株患者中,1485 例(48.4%)为女性,而流感患者中 1113 例(51.9%)为女性(P = .02)。与流感患者相比,SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株患者年龄更小(中位数[IQR]年龄,71 [53-82] 岁)(P < .001)。总体而言,214 例 SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株患者(7.0%)在住院期间死亡,95 例流感患者(4.4%)死亡(P < .001)。SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株与流感相比,调整后的亚分布风险比(sdHR)为 1.54(95%CI,1.18-2.01;P = .002)。总体而言,250 例 SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株患者(8.6%)与 169 例流感患者(8.3%)入住 ICU(P = .79)。调整后,SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株与流感相比,入住 ICU 的风险无显著差异(sdHR,1.08;95%CI,0.88-1.32;P = .50)。
结论和意义
这项来自前瞻性、多中心队列研究的数据表明,与流感患者相比,SARS-CoV-2 奥密克戎变异株患者的住院死亡率显著增加,而 ICU 入院率相似。
