| Finding Measure (Units) | Cohort A: Sepsis-Only (n = 3,297)a | Cohort B: COVID-19-Only (n = 6,945) | Cohort C: Sepsis + COVID-19 (n = 1,153) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median (Interquartile range) | |||

| LACE+ Scorec | 63.8 (52.3–72.5) | 57.6 (42.7–69.4) | 60.9 (47.5–70.9) |
| Modified Early Warning Score | 4.6 (3.1–6.8) | 3.2 (2.1–4.7) | 6.1 (4.3–7.9) |

a
n = number of patients.
b
LACE Score = LACE Index for Readmission, LACE = Length of Stay; Acute (Emergent) Admission; Charlson Comorbidity Index; Number of Emergency Department visits within 6 months (not including the current one).
c
LACE + Score = modified LACE Index for readmission.
Student t test was used for all clinical finding measures.
