Abstract
Laboratory-based findings suggest that Sotrovimab is significantly less effective against emerging CARS-CoV-2 variants, however, clinical data is lacking. Here we examined the effectiveness of sotrovimab, in preventing emergency department (ED) presentation and subsequent hospitalization in high-risk subgroups of patients during the SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron waves in Western Sydney, Australia (n = 515). Risk for ED attendance was comparable in Omicron patients, whether BA.1 or BA.2, compared to Delta patients (hazard ratio of 0.97 [0.36–2.64]). These findings highlight the need for caution when using in vitro findings to drive clinical practice, especially when the consequence is to withhold potentially lifesaving treatment.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Medical Virology focuses on publishing original scientific papers on both basic and applied research related to viruses that affect humans. The journal publishes reports covering a wide range of topics, including the characterization, diagnosis, epidemiology, immunology, and pathogenesis of human virus infections. It also includes studies on virus morphology, genetics, replication, and interactions with host cells.
The intended readership of the journal includes virologists, microbiologists, immunologists, infectious disease specialists, diagnostic laboratory technologists, epidemiologists, hematologists, and cell biologists.
The Journal of Medical Virology is indexed and abstracted in various databases, including Abstracts in Anthropology (Sage), CABI, AgBiotech News & Information, National Agricultural Library, Biological Abstracts, Embase, Global Health, Web of Science, Veterinary Bulletin, and others.
