Impact of ceiling of care on mortality across four COVID-19 epidemic waves in Catalonia: a multicentre prospective cohort study
In patients without ceiling of care, mortality decreased over time, suggesting better disease knowledge and management. In ceiling of care, only fourth wave patients were less likely to die than first wave patients. In a future infectious disease pandemic, it will be a challenge to improve the management of patients with ceiling of care.
