Outcomes of COVID-19 in the Omicron-predominant wave: large-scale real-world data analysis with a comparison to influenza
In the Omicron-predominant wave, the mortality rate of COVID-19 decreased, but the number of patients increased, leading to a substantial increase in the number of deaths, especially among the elderly. The mortality rate of COVID-19 was higher than that of influenza in the elderly but not in the young, highlighting the need for age-specific interventions.
