CI, confidence interval; COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019; OR, odds ratio.

aDefined as intubation, admission to intensive care unit, or death; based on 1,820 patients.

bBased on 1,129 patients.

cThe sums do not add to the total because of a few missing values.

dEstimates from univariable logistic regression models.

eEstimates from multivariable logistic regression models, adjusted for sex, age, and level of education.
