This study compared the demographics, clinical characteristics, and severity of patients infected with different SARS-CoV-2 variants during various phases of the COVID-19 epidemic. Results showed that there were no major differences in age, gender, prevalence of chronic diseases, and clinical symptoms between variants in different phases, but certain variants were associated with more severe outcomes. Infections during the second phase had a higher death rate compared to the first and third phases.
Objectives: To compare the demographics, clinical characteristics and severity of patients infected with nine different SARS-CoV-2 variants, during three phases of the COVID-19 epidemic in Marseille. Methods: A single centre retrospective cohort study was conducted in 1760 patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 of Nextstrain clades 20A, 20B, and 20C (first phase, February-May 2020), Pangolin lineages B.1.177 (we named Marseille-2) and B.1.160 (Marseille-4) variants (second phase, June-December 2020), and B.1.1.7 (alpha), B.1.351 (beta), P.1 (gamma) and A.27 (Marseille-501) variants (third phase, January 2021-today). Outcomes were the occurrence of clinical failures, including hospitalisation, transfer to the intensive-care unit, and death. Results: During each phase, no major differences were observed with regards to age and gender distribution, the prevalence of chronic diseases, and clinical symptoms between variants circulating in a given phase. The B.1.177 and B.1.160 variants were associated with more severe outcomes. Infections occurring during the second phase were associated with a higher rate of death as compared to infections during the first and third phases. Patients in the second phase were more likely to be hospitalised than those in the third phase. Patients infected during the third phase were more frequently obese than others. Conclusion:: A large cohort study is recommended to evaluate the transmissibility and to better characterise the clinical severity of emerging variants.
