Conclusions: The clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 infection in hospitalized Colombian was characterised by a more advanced stage of the infection.

Background
The third epidemic wave reported the greatest number of deaths related to SARS-CoV-2 in Colombia. In this wave, the Mu variant was predominant in 75% of the cases. Therefore, we evaluated the association between Colombia's third wave and COVID-19 all-cause inhospital mortality.

Background
The Solidarity trial among COVID-19 inpatients has previously reported interim mortality analyses for four repurposed antiviral drugs. Lopinavir, hydroxychloroquine, and interferon (IFN)-β1a were discontinued for futility but randomisation to remdesivir continued. Here, we report the final results of Solidarity and meta-analyses of mortality in all relevant trials to date.

Abstract
Latin America accounts for one-quarter of global COVID-19 cases and one-third of deaths. Inequalities in the region lead to barriers to the best use of diagnostic tests during the pandemic. There is a need for simplified guidelines that consider the region’s limited health resources, international guidelines, medical literature, and local expertise.

Conclusion
The proposed algorithm aims to support COVID-19 diagnosis decision-making in Latin America.
