Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the clinical severity of different SARS-CoV-2 variants during mass COVID-19 vaccination. Thirteen studies were included, focusing on four clinical severity metrics: confirmed case-hospitalization risk (cCHR), confirmed case-fatality risk (cCFR), hospitalization-fatality risk (HFR), and hospitalization-ICU risk (HIR). The Delta variant showed the highest severity across all metrics, while Omicron showed the lowest. Adults over 65 exhibited higher severity levels than other age groups.
