IR (100-person-day), incidence rate; IRR, incidence rate ratio; aHR, adjusted hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; ICU, intensive care unit; ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome; CK, creatine kinase; ALT, alanine transaminase; ULN, the upper limit of normal.

a

p values were calculated by R package “fmsb”; the significant probability of the result of null-hypothesis testing.

b

Adjusted HR was calculated based on mixed-effect Cox model with adjustment of age, gender, and SpO2 on admission.

c

p values were calculated based on mixed-effect Cox model.

d

Adjusted HR was calculated based on mixed-effect Cox model with adjustment of age, gender, coronary heart disease, and incidence of increased CRP, D-dimer, and LDL-c on admission.
