“…In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, the majority of studies reported that patients with overweight and obesity had shown an increased rate of hospitalization and ICU admissions due to respiratory failure and the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with cytokine storm 28,39,71,162,166 . Patients with overweight and obesity admitted to ICU required oxygen therapy either by invasive or non‐invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV or NIMV) more than patients with normal weight 73,88,118,135,151,155,177,184–194 .…”

SummaryCohort studies have shown that both overweight and obesity have their impact by increasing hospitalization with COVID‐19. We conducted a systematic literature search in PubMed, Google Scholar, and MedRxiv databases following the PRISMA guidelines. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA software version 16 MP (Stata Corp, College Station, TX, USA) and Med Calc software version 22.009(Med Calc software Ltd, Ostend, Belgium). The primary outcome was to measure the prevalence of overweight and obesity and their impact on the risk of hospitalization among COVID‐19 patients under and above 50 years of age. In total, 184 studies involving 2,365,377 patients were included. The prevalence of overweight was highest among those younger than 50 years of age over those older than 50 years of age, (26.33% vs. 30.46%), but there was no difference in obesity (36.30% vs. 36.02%). Overall, the pooled prevalence of overweight and obesity among hospitalized COVID‐19 patients was 31.0% and 36.26%, respectively. Compared with normal weight, the odds of hospitalization with overweight (odds ratio [OR] 2.186, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.19, 3.99], p < 0.01) and obesity (OR 3.069, 95% CI [1.67, 5.61], p < 0.001) in those younger than 50 years and obesity (OR 3.977, 95% CI [2.75, 5.73], p < 0.001) in the older than 50 years age group were significantly high. The increased prevalence of overweight and obesity among the under 50 years age group and obesity among the older than 50 years age group significantly increased the rate of COVID‐19 infections, severity and hospitalization.

“…Some previous publications have conducted studies on the effects of COVID-19, focusing on specific secondary hospitals or limited time periods. These studies provided information about the demographic characteristics and outcomes of the patients included in their respective cohorts [ 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 ]. Although we recognize that there may be regional variations in the characteristics of COVID-19, and we acknowledge that our findings may not directly apply to other settings, it is important to note that our study encompassed a period of 27 months during the pandemic and involved over 3000 hospitalized patients.…”

Spain had some of Europe’s highest incidence and mortality rates for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on daily health care in terms of incidence, critical patients, and mortality. We describe the characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients, comparing variables over the different waves. We performed a descriptive, retrospective study using the historical records of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. We describe demographic characteristics, admissions, and occupancy. Time series allowed us to visualize and analyze trends and patterns, and identify several waves during the 27-month period. A total of 3315 patients had been hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19. One-third of these patients were hospitalized during the first weeks of the pandemic. We observed that 4.6% of all hospitalizations had been admitted to the intensive care unit, and we identified a mortality rate of 9.4% among hospitalized patients. Arithmetic- and semi-logarithmic-scale charts showed how admissions and deaths rose sharply during the first weeks, increasing by 10 every few days. We described a single hospital’s response and experiences during the pandemic. This research highlights certain demographic profiles in a population and emphasizes the importance of identifying waves when performing research on COVID-19. Our results can extend the analysis of the impact of COVID-19 and can be applied in other contexts, and can be considered when further analyzing the clinical, epidemiological, or demographic characteristics of populations with COVID-19. Our findings suggest that the pandemic should be analyzed not as a whole but rather in different waves.

“…Critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) requiring mechanical ventilation have a mortality rate of approximately 56% 1 . We recently published our experience with hospitalized COVID-19 patients at the community hospital level, which showed that our outcomes were similar to those at larger centers 2 . This retrospective study was designed to evaluate overall differences between survivors and nonsurvivors requiring mechanical ventilation for COVID-19 respiratory failure in two community hospital intensive care units (ICUs).…”

Because of a high mortality rate seen in patients intubated for coronavirus disease 2019–associated respiratory failure, the authors sought to evaluate the mortality rate specific to their institution and compare the characteristics of survivors versus nonsurvivors to attempt to elucidate whether differences existed in each group. They sought to specifically determine whether differences in ventilation strategies and/or timing of intubation affected survival. The results showed a numerical difference in the timing of intubation trending toward improved survival in those intubated sooner versus later in their disease course.
