Abstract
Background: COVID-19 3rd wave has shown not only less deaths but also limited symptomatic patients in India with few numbers of casualties as compared to first and second wave. The exact scientific reason behind this needs detailed study. There is an urgent need for a study aimed towards detection of low mortality and morbidity in 3rd wave of COVID-19 patients from a level 3 medical college hospital in western Uttar Pradesh district in India so as to find and develop new management strategies for COVID-19 patients in future next COVID-19 waves. Methods: This study was aimed to find morbidity and mortality factors of COVID-19 3rd wave among COVID-19 patients in a level 3 medical college hospital in western UP district Saharanpur in India from 1st January 2022 to 30th June 2022. Results: The demographic profile of patients admitted in our level 3 medical college hospital in western UP district in India; had no significant (p>0.05) association with morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 3rd wave, but vaccination doses as it increased from 1st to 2nd had significant association (p=0.05) with less mortality and morbidity in COVID-19 3rd wave those who received the vaccines. Conclusions: Possibly COVID vaccination doses had a positive boosting effect on immune system of COVID-19 patients, which may have caused Virus to be less damaging to Immune system leading to decreased morbidity and mortality and in COVID-19 patients in wave 3.
