Abstract

The first wave of COVID-19 in Venezuela began in March 2020 and had a maximum of cases in August 2020. New outbreaks occurred in 2021 and 2022, during which we studied 603 hospitalized cases at the Clinica El Avila de Caracas: 370 (61.35 %) male and 233 (38.14 %) female. The average age was 65 years (range: 18-99 years). The hematological and laboratory studies were similar to those reported in 2020other studies outside of Venezuela. One hundred two (102) patients were transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). 80 % of these patients had not been vaccinated or did not receive the full vaccination schedule against COVID-19. The overall mortality of the 603 patients was 11.27 %.
