Abstract
Background: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 is appearing with an increasing number of variants day by day, this study aimed to determine the effect of B.1.1.7 (alpha), B.1.351 (beta), P.1 (gamma), and B.1.617.2 (delta) variants on hospitalization rates.
Methods: This single-center study was conducted at the University of Health Sciences Dr. Behçet Uz Children's Hospital from March 11 - August 27, 2021. Variant analyzes of symptomatic patients admitted to the hospital who were found to be positive for COVID 19 PCR was performed.
Results: Out of 680 cases, 329 (48.4%) were B.1.1.7 variant, 17 (2.5%) were B.1.351 /P.1 variant, 165 (24.2%) were B.1.617.2 variant. 169 (24.9%) case variant analysis results were negative. The hospitalization rate of patients with the B.1.617.2 variant was 19.4%, the B.1.351 /P.1 variant was 18%, the B.1.1.7 variant was 9.4%, and the negative variant was 12.2%.
Conclusion: The B.1.617.2 (delta) variant, which has become widespread all over the world recently, increases the rate of hospitalization in children. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
