Risk factors for hospitalization and death due to COVID-19 during endemic Omicron circulation, a population-based cohort study
Also, in the current Omicron endemicity, advanced age remains the strongest risk factor for hospitalization and death due to COVID-19, accompanied by advanced comorbidity and care dependency. These findings can guide public health recommendations such as vaccination strategies and antiviral treatment guidelines, helping to protect those most at risk.
