Navigating the waves in Colombia: a cohort study of inpatient care during four COVID-19 waves

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings emphasize the critical importance of adapting healthcare strategies to the evolving dynamics of the pandemic. The reduction in ICU admissions, IMV utilization, and LOS, coupled with the rise in vaccination rates, underscores the adaptability of healthcare systems. Hospital mortality's persistence may warrant further exploration of treatment strategies. These insights can inform public health responses, helping policymakers allocate resources effectively and tailor interventions to specific phases of the pandemic.PMID:38484781 | PMC:PMC10955096 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjid.2024.103737
