- Abstract
Dear Editor, As the SARS-COV-2 Omicron (B1.1.529) variant spread, many hospitals began to see the highest level of hospitalized COVID-19 patients since the onset of the pandemic (https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home). Detailed characterization of hospitalized patients infected with the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 Among patients hospitalized primarily for COVID-19, we found Omicron patients were significantly less likely to require oxygen during hospitalization (53.1% vs. 80.8%, I p i = 0.0094) and had less need for critical care support (14.1% vs. 38.5%, I p i = 0.0044) relative to Delta patients.
