Regarding WL, we found highly significant differences when comparing the three waves: during the first wave, 36.8% of patients lost more than 6 kg during hospitalization with a mean WL of 6.5 ± 5.8 kg while these values were only 6.9% and 3.3 ± 4.2 kg, and 7.7% and 4.1 ± 4.3 kg in the second and third waves, respectively (percentage: p < 0.001; WL: 0.036).
