CrI = credible interval; ICU = intensive care unit; IQR = interquartile range. Percentages may not total 100 because of rounding.
For the median duration of mechanical ventilation at day 28 and the median hospital length of stay at day 28, the estimate is reported with the 95% CI; for all others, it is reported with 95% CrI.
Defined as hazard ratio (HR) or odds ratio (OR) < 1.00.
Unadjusted.
Effect estimate is OR (95% CrI) from a Bayesian model with a Bernoulli distribution adjusted by age, diabetes status, and oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (Spo2) at admission. Effect estimate is HR (95% CrI) from a Bayesian Cox proportional hazard model adjusted by age, diabetes status, and Spo2 at admission.
Effect estimate is the subdistribution HR (95% CrI) from an unadjusted Fine–Gray competing risk model, with death before the event as competing risk adjusted by age, diabetes status, and Spo2 at admission.
P value.
