Introduction:
COVID-19 was the most feared infectious disease in the last few years which caused a high number of mortalities. Hospital Sungai Buloh was the main COVID-19 referral centre since the pandemic started. A large database of COVID-19 patients was available for this study and used to describe the rate of mortality among patients who were 40 years and above;who were admitted to Hospital Sungai Buloh during periods of Delta and Omicron predominance. Material(s) and Method(s) Medical records of COVID-19 patients who were admitted in Hospital Sungai Buloh during the period of Delta and Omicron predominance were reviewed retrospectively and analyzed. Result(s) Patient mortality during the period of Delta predominance from May-July 2021 (755 patients) was higher com[pared to the period of Omicron predominance from January-April 2022 (180 cases). Majority of the deceased patients were male (59.1%). Conclusion(s) This descriptive study serves as a baseline research for more studies in future using the same dataset.
