Although the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant is considered to induce less severe disease, there have been no consistent results on the extent of the decrease in severity.
To compare the clinical outcomes of COVID-19-positive patients with Omicron and Delta variant infection.
Searches were implemented up to 8 November 2022 in PubMed, Web of Science, BioRvix, and MedRvix.
Eligible studies were cohort studies reporting the clinical outcomes of COVID-19-positive patients with Omicron and Delta variant infection, including hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and death.
COVID-19-positive patients with Omicron and Delta variant infection.
Risk of bias was assessed employing the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.
Random-effect models were employed to pool the ORs and 95% CIs to compare the risk of clinical outcome. I was employed to evaluate the heterogeneity between studies.
A total of 33 studies with 6 037 144 COVID-19-positive patients were included in this meta-analysis. In the general population of COVID-19-positive patients, compared with Delta, Omicron variant infection resulted in a decreased risk of hospitalization (10.24% vs. 4.14%, OR = 2.91, 95% CI = 2.35-3.60), ICU admission (3.67% vs. 0.48%, OR = 3.64, 95% CI = 2.63-5.04), receiving IMV (3.93% vs. 0.34%, OR = 3.11, 95% CI = 1.76-5.50), and death (2.40% vs. 0.46%, OR = 2.97, 95% CI = 2.17-4.08). In the hospitalized patients with COVID-19, compared with Delta, Omicron variant infection resulted in a decreased risk of ICU admission (20.70% vs. 12.90%, OR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.32-2.02), receiving IMV (10.90% vs. 5.80%, OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.28-2.14), and death (10.72% vs. 7.10%, OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.22-1.71).
Compared with Delta, the severity of Omicron variant infection decreased.
尽管 SARS-CoV-2 的奥密克戎变异株被认为导致的疾病较轻,但关于严重程度降低的程度尚无一致结果。
比较 COVID-19 阳性患者感染奥密克戎和德尔塔变异株的临床结局。
截至 2022 年 11 月 8 日,在 PubMed、Web of Science、BioRvix 和 MedRvix 中进行了检索。
合格的研究为报告 COVID-19 阳性患者感染奥密克戎和德尔塔变异株的临床结局的队列研究,包括住院、入住重症监护病房(ICU)、接受有创机械通气(IMV)和死亡。
COVID-19 阳性患者感染奥密克戎和德尔塔变异株。
使用纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表评估偏倚风险。
采用随机效应模型汇总 OR 和 95%CI,以比较临床结局的风险。采用 I² 评估研究之间的异质性。
共有 33 项研究纳入了 6037144 例 COVID-19 阳性患者,进行了荟萃分析。在 COVID-19 阳性患者的普通人群中,与德尔塔相比,奥密克戎变异株感染的住院风险降低(10.24% vs. 4.14%,OR=2.91,95%CI=2.35-3.60)、ICU 入住风险降低(3.67% vs. 0.48%,OR=3.64,95%CI=2.63-5.04)、接受 IMV 的风险降低(3.93% vs. 0.34%,OR=3.11,95%CI=1.76-5.50)和死亡风险降低(2.40% vs. 0.46%,OR=2.97,95%CI=2.17-4.08)。在住院 COVID-19 患者中,与德尔塔相比,奥密克戎变异株感染的 ICU 入住风险降低(20.70% vs. 12.90%,OR=1.63,95%CI=1.32-2.02)、接受 IMV 的风险降低(10.90% vs. 5.80%,OR=1.65,95%CI=1.28-2.14)和死亡风险降低(10.72% vs. 7.10%,OR=1.44,95%CI=1.22-1.71)。
与德尔塔相比,奥密克戎变异株感染的严重程度降低。
