Multiple logistic regression on the association between mortality of COVID-19 patients during Delta and Omicron waves and selected variables, including remdesivir treatment (RDV).
| Variable | Delta | Omicron |
|---|---|---|
| Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval) | ||
| Age >70 years | 4.99 (3.55–7.01) p < 0.0001 |
2.2 (1.9–5.8) p < 0.0001 |
| Male sex | 0.82 (0.66–1.28) p > 0.05 |
0.71 (0.44–1.13) p > 0.05 |
| Obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m2) | 0.82 (0.56–1.20) p > 0.03 |
1.40 (0.92–1.89) p = 0.02 |
| SpO2 ≤ 90% at admission | 1.37 (0.89–4.63) p < 0.0001 |
2.40 (1.47–3.91) p = 0.0005 |
| Dexamethasone treatment | 1.81 (1.23–2.67) p = 0.003 |
2.97 (1.81–4.89) p < 0.0001 |
| RDV treatment | 0.42 (0.29–0.60) p < 0.0001 |
0.56 (0.35–0.92) p = 0.02 |
