Results: Our analyses included 52,297 cases with SGTF (Omicron) and 16,982 cases with non-SGTF (Delta [B.1.617.2]) infections, respectively. Hospital admissions occurred among 235 (0.5%) and 222 (1.3%) of cases with Omicron and Delta variant infections, respectively. Among cases first tested in outpatient settings, the adjusted hazard ratios for any subsequent hospital admission and symptomatic hospital admission associated with Omicron variant infection were 0.48 (0.36-0.64) and 0.47 (0.35-0.62), respectively. Rates of ICU admission and mortality after an outpatient positive test were 0.26 (0.10-0.73) and 0.09 (0.01-0.75) fold as high among cases with Omicron variant infection as compared to cases with Delta variant infection. Zero cases with Omicron variant infection received mechanical ventilation, as compared to 11 cases with Delta variant infections throughout the period of follow-up (two-sided p<0.001). Median duration of hospital stay was 3.4 (2.8-4.1) days shorter for hospitalized cases with Omicron variant infections as compared to hospitalized patients with Delta variant infections, reflecting a 69.6% (64.0-74.5%) reduction in hospital length of stay.

If I'm reading it right (and I certainly might not be), the stat before the ventilator statistic is the best news in that bunch: among patients who tested positive outside the hospital, Omicron is 4 times less likely to result in hospitalization and 10 times less likely to result in death.

Great news, hopefully this will be the end of Covid as a public health concern and we can quit all the testing.

i believe it's 1/2 as likely to be hospitalized, 1/4 as likely to end up in the ICU, and 1/10 as likely to die.

Thanks. I mixed up hospitalized/ICU. And I suck at nomenclature for odds.
