Retrospective 4,631 hospitalized patients in New York, showing higher mortality with remdesivir, and lower mortality with HCQ. Authors suggest that increased mortality during the first epidemic wave was partly due to strain on hospital resources.

Elucidating factors 5 differentially associated with mortality between epidemic waves may inform clinical and public 6 health strategies. 7 Methods: We examined clinical and demographic data among patients admitted with COVID-19 8 during the first (March-August 2020) and second (August 2020-March 2021) epidemic waves at 9 an academic medical center in New York City. 10 Results: Hospitalized patients (N=4631) had lower overall and 30-day in-hospital mortality, 11 defined as death or discharge to hospice, during the second wave (14% and 11%) than the first 12 (22% and 21%). The wave 2 in-hospital mortality decrease persisted after adjusting for several 13 potential confounders. Adjusting for the volume of COVID-19 admissions, a measure of health 14 system strain, accounted for the mortality difference between waves. Several demographic and 15 clinical patient factors were associated with an increased risk of mortality independent of wave; 16 SARS-CoV-2 cycle threshold, Do-Not-Intubate status, oxygen requirement, and intensive care 17 unit admission. 18 Conclusions: This work suggests that increased in-hospital mortality rates observed during the U N A M D TE EP CC 19 SC RI PT Background: Many regions have experienced successive epidemic waves of COVID-19 since first epidemic wave were partly due to strain on hospital resources. Preparations for future epidemics should prioritize evidence-based patient risks, treatment paradigms, and approaches to 21 augment hospital capacity. A 20 2
