Booster vaccines dose reduced mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients requiring oxygen supplementation: Evidence from the Beijing Omicron outbreak.

ABSTRACT: To assess the impact of vaccines on clinical outcomes among hospitalized COVID-19-infected patients requiring oxygen supplementation during the Beijing Omicron outbreak. We conducted a retrospective cohort study at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, from November 15, 2022, to March 31, 2023. Vaccination statuses were categorized into 3 doses, 2 doses, and unvaccinated (0 dose). The primary outcome was 28-day all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included poor outcomes, intensive care unit admission, cardiovascular thromboembolism events, and hospital readmission. Among the included patients, 117 were 2 doses, 285 received booster doses, and 503 were unvaccinated. After propensity score inverse probability weighting, the 3 doses group showed a significantly lower 28-da
