    Abstract Although the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 circulated intensely during the 2021-2022 season, many patients with severe acute respiratory disease tested negative for COVID-19. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of different respiratory viruses in deceased persons. The proportion of deceased persons with respiratory viral infections in the 2021-2022 season in Navarre, Spain, was estimated considering all deaths caused by confirmed COVID-19 according to the epidemiological surveillance and the results of multiplex PCR tests for respiratory viruses performed in a sample of deceased persons with a cause of death other than COVID-19. Of 3578 deaths, 324 (9.1%) were initially reported as caused by pre-mortem confirmed COVID-19. A sample of 242 persons who died by causes other than COVID-19 were tested post-mortem; 64 (26.4%) of them were positive for any respiratory virus: 11.2% for SARS-CoV-2, 5.8% for rhinovirus, 3.7% for human coronavirus, 2.5% for metapneumovirus, 1.7% for respiratory syncytial virus, 1.7% for parainfluenza, 1.2% for influenza, and less than 1% each for adenovirus and bocavirus. Combining both approaches, we estimated that 34.4% of all deceased persons during the study period had a respiratory viral infection and 19.2% had SARS-CoV-2. Only 33.3% (9/27) of SARS-CoV-2 and 5.0% (2/40) of other viruses detected post-mortem had previously been confirmed pre-mortem. In a period with very intense circulation of SARS-CoV-2 during the pandemic, other respiratory viruses were also frequently present in deceased persons. Some SARS-CoV-2 infections and most other viral infections were not diagnosed pre-mortem. Several respiratory viruses may contribute to excess mortality in winter.

    Abstract In 2021-2022, most of the Spanish population received COVID-19 vaccines and a high proportion of them had SARS-CoV-2 infection. We estimated the rate of hospitalisations and deaths that were averted by risk reduction among vaccinated COVID-19 cases. Hospitalisations and deaths were analysed among COVID-19 cases confirmed in 2021 and 2022 in Navarre, Spain. To calculate the number of prevented outcomes by sex, age, comorbidities, and semester, the difference in the risk of each outcome between unvaccinated and vaccinated cases was multiplied by the number of vaccinated cases. COVID-19 vaccination coverage with any dose reached 88%, 86% with full vaccination, and 56% with a booster dose. The cumulative rates per 1000 inhabitants were 382 COVID-19 confirmed cases, 6.70 hospitalisations, and 1.15 deaths from COVID-19. The estimated rates of prevented events by vaccination were 16.33 hospitalisations and 3.39 deaths per 1000 inhabitants, which was 70.9% and 74.7% of expected events without vaccination, respectively. People aged 80 years and older or with major chronic conditions accounted for the majority of hospitalizations and deaths prevented by COVID-19 vaccination. One hospitalisation and death due to COVID-19 were averted for every 53 and 258 people vaccinated, respectively. The high COVID-19 vaccine effect in reducing the risk of severe outcomes and the high vaccination coverage in risk populations prevented three out of four hospitalisations and deaths due to COVID-19 during a period of intense circulation of SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended RT-qPCR tests as the reference technique for SARS-CoV-2 molecular detection, however with the rapid spread of the infection, mutations in specific RT-qPCR target regions have been widely described could allow the presumptive identification. In this study, we evaluated the analytical performance of the Allplex™SARS-CoV-2/FluA/FluB/RSV assay for the additional presumptive identification of SARS-CoV-2 variants in a real-life setting. We observed gene-specific changes in the cycle threshold (Ct) of the N and RdRp genes compared with the Ct yielded for the S gene when the SARS-CoV-2 testing was performed Allplex™SARS-CoV-2/FluA/FluB/RSV assay. Seventeen samples showed Ct variations in the N and/or RdRp. In 10 cases, the N gene was affected, delayed or negative and in 14 cases, the RdRp gene showed a delay or negative concerning the S gene. A delay in the Ct of both genes (RdRp and N) was observed in six cases. Sequencing determined that all samples identified as B.1.1.7 showed changes in the PCR curves of the N and RdRp. However, samples identified as B.1.177 only showed variations for the RdRp gene. Allplex™SARS-CoV-2/FluA/FluB/RSV assay, the diagnosis could presumably allow the rapid assignment of lineages B.1.1.7 and B.1.177, and emphasizes the importance of exhaustive surveillance for circulating variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to reduce community transmission.
