Objective: to compare the epidemiological profile of patients treated during the pandemic for conditions unrelated to COVID-19 and users treated in the pre-pandemic period. Method: a retrospective study was carried out at Hospital São Paulo, from August 2021 to August 2023, with two groups (pre and pandemic), stratified into chunks. Data collection took place through electronic medical records with the first 20 participants of each month. Descriptive analysis of continuous variables was performed using mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum, considering a p-value <0.05. Results: 520 patients were analyzed, divided equally, with similar mean age, sex, race and length of hospital stay, but there were differences in hospitalization units and outcomes. Conclusion: similarity was found between the two groups, with more admissions to Intensive Care Units and more deaths in the pre-pandemic group and more hospitalizations in the emergency department in the pandemic group, with more discharges.
