| Popis: | Introduction While Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) specific treatments have been instituted, overall mortality rates among hospitalized patients remain significant. Our study aimed to evaluate patient clinical characteristics and outcomes comparing the different COVID-19 infection peak periods. Methods This is a retrospective study of all adult patients hospitalized with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 between March 1 to April 24, 2020 and November 1 to December 31, 2020, which corresponded to the first and second waves of COVID-19 infection in our institution, respectively. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were compared and used for propensity matching. Clinical outcomes, such as need for intubation, renal replacement therapy and inpatient mortality were subsequently compared between the two groups. Results Patients in the second COVID-19 wave had a significantly higher body mass index (32.58 vs 29.83, p |
