Death (%)=100×number of death in the category/total number of case of emergency visits (or hospital admissions) in respective category of predictor variables.

Emergency visit defined as hospital admission and discharge on same day. Hospital admission defined as hospital stay of at least one night.

*p<0.001, **p<0.05.

†Logistic regression model was built with death as outcome, and age group, gender, residence location and year of admission for emergency visits as predictors.

‡Additional predictors in models.

§All five deaths during emergency visits and 51/65 deaths among hospital admissions in this group were due to respiratory failure (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision code J96).
