60-day mortality and the role of SARS-CoV-2 in hospital admissions of immunocompromised patients during later Omicron period: a population-based study in Sweden
A majority of COVID-19-related hospitalisations during later Omicron period in a high immunity population, involved people over 70 years with low/very low functional levels and multiple comorbidities. Immunocompromised patients had a 2.5 times higher risk of 60-day COVID-19-related mortality. These findings underscore the need for targeted preventive measures in vulnerable elderly and immunocompromised populations to mitigate COVID-19-related hospitalisations and deaths.
