dc.descriptionSpain had some of Europe’s highest incidence and mortality rates for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on daily health care in terms of incidence, critical patients, and mortality. We describe the characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients, comparing variables over the different waves. We performed a descriptive, retrospective study using the historical records of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. We describe demographic characteristics, admissions, and occupancy. Time series allowed us to visualize and analyze trends and patterns, and identify several waves during the 27-month period. A total of 3315 patients had been hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19. One-third of these patients were hospitalized during the first weeks of the pandemic. We observed that 4.6% of all hospitalizations had been admitted to the intensive care unit, and we identified a mortality rate of 9.4% among hospitalized patients. Arithmetic- and semi-logarithmic-scale charts showed how admissions and deaths rose sharply during the first weeks, increasing by 10 every few days. We described a single hospital’s response and experiences during the pandemic. This research highlights certain demographic profiles in a population and emphasizes the importance of identifying waves when performing research on COVID-19. Our results can extend the analysis of the impact of COVID-19 and can be applied in other contexts, and can be considered when further analyzing the clinical, epidemiological, or demographic characteristics of populations with COVID-19. Our findings suggest that the pandemic should be analyzed not as a whole but rather in different waves.es
