Abstract
Introduction

Initiation of global vaccination significantly reduced the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19. During the Omicron wave, approximately 70% of the Israeli adult population was fully vaccinated, but the efficacy of the vaccine was questioned.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all adult patients admitted to the COVID-19 departments in Rabin Medical Center, during the Delta wave and the Omicron wave. Patients were matched in the 2 waves using the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method and risk for mechanical ventilation and 30-day all-cause mortality was assessed.

Results

Vaccination had a significant effect on 30-day mortality in the Delta and Omicron waves with adjusted OR of 0.35 (0.17–0.70) and 0.5 (0.27–0.95) respectively. Nonetheless, the rate of mechanical ventilation was similar between the groups with OR of 0.75 (0.52–1.09) and 0.64 (0.40–1.01). Vaccination status did not change the length of admission in both waves.

Conclusion

We observed a decreased risk for 30-day mortality among vaccinated patients during the Delta and Omicron waves in Israel. This association, even though consistent, was of a lesser magnitude during the Omicron wave.

Resumen
Introducción

La iniciación de la vacunación global redujo significativamente la morbilidad y la mortalidad de la COVID-19. Durante la ola de ómicron, aproximadamente 70% de la población adulta israelí estaba completamente vacunada, pero se cuestionó la eficacia de la vacuna.

Métodos

Realizamos un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo de todos los pacientes adultos ingresados en los departamentos de COVID-19 en el Centro Médico Rabin, durante las olas de delta y ómicron. Los pacientes fueron emparejados en las dos olas utilizando el método de ponderación inversa de probabilidad de tratamiento (IPTW) y se evaluó el riesgo de ventilación mecánica y la mortalidad por todas las causas a los 30 días.

Resultados

La vacunación tuvo un efecto significativo en la mortalidad a los 30 días en las olas de delta y ómicron con odds ratio (OR) ajustadas de 0,35 (0,17-0,70) y 0,5 (0,27-0,95), respectivamente. Sin embargo, la tasa de ventilación mecánica fue similar entre los grupos con OR de 0,75 (0,52-1,09) y 0,64 (0,40-1,01). El estado de vacunación no cambió la duración del ingreso en ambas olas.

Conclusión

Observamos un menor riesgo de mortalidad a los 30 días entre los pacientes vacunados durante las olas de delta y ómicron en Israel. Esta asociación, aunque constante, fue de menor magnitud durante la ola de ómicron.
