Comparing the outcomes of intensive care unit (ICU) admitted COVID-19 patients during the Alpha and Omicron-dominated periods.
Patients with critical COVID-19 disease, requiring ICU admission from May to September 2021 and February to August 2022, were enrolled from a single medical center in Northern Taiwan. Clinical demographics, comorbidities, disease severity, and management strategies were recorded. The 28-day mortality from the two periods were compared both in the original and propensity score (PS)-matched cohort.
Of 231 patients, 72 (31.2%) were from the Alpha period and 159 (68.8%) from the Omicron period. Patients in the Omicron period were older, had a lower body mass index, more comorbidities, higher disease severities, and increased 28-day mortality (26.4% vs. 13.9%, p = 0.035). In multivariable analysis, the Omicron-dominated period was not identified as an independent factor associated with increased 28-day mortality. COVID-19 patients in Alpha- and Omicron-dominated periods had comparable 28-day mortality in PS-matched cohort (12.1% vs. 18.2%, p = 0.733). Independent factors associated with 28-day mortality were a lower PF ratio (PF ratio <100, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.68, 95% confidence interval, CI 1.21-5.94), septic shock ([aOR] 2.39, 95% CI 1.12-5.09) and absence of remdesivir ([aOR] 0.36, 95% CI 0.16-0.83).
While patients in the Omicron period exhibited greater severity, the variant was not independently linked to higher 28-day mortality in ICU-admitted patients.
比较在以阿尔法毒株和奥密克戎毒株为主的时期,入住重症监护病房(ICU)的新冠肺炎患者的治疗结果。
选取2021年5月至9月以及2022年2月至8月期间因重症新冠肺炎疾病需要入住ICU的患者,这些患者来自台湾北部的一家医疗中心。记录患者的临床人口统计学特征、合并症、疾病严重程度和治疗策略。比较两个时期的28天死亡率,包括原始队列和倾向评分(PS)匹配队列。
231例患者中,72例(31.2%)来自阿尔法毒株时期,159例(68.8%)来自奥密克戎毒株时期。奥密克戎毒株时期的患者年龄更大,体重指数更低,合并症更多,疾病严重程度更高,28天死亡率更高(26.4%对13.9%,p = 0.035)。在多变量分析中,奥密克戎毒株为主的时期未被确定为与28天死亡率增加相关的独立因素。在PS匹配队列中,以阿尔法毒株和奥密克戎毒株为主的时期的新冠肺炎患者28天死亡率相当(12.1%对18.2%,p = 0.733)。与28天死亡率相关的独立因素包括较低的氧合指数(氧合指数<100,调整后比值比[aOR] 2.68,95%置信区间[CI] 1.21 - 5.94)、感染性休克([aOR] 2.39,95% CI 1.12 - 5.09)以及未使用瑞德西韦([aOR] 0.36,95% CI 0.16 - 0.83)。
虽然奥密克戎毒株时期的患者病情更严重,但该毒株与入住ICU患者更高的28天死亡率并无独立关联。
