1Cox regression model without propensity score (PS) adjustment; 2PS adjustment – see statistical method section for explanation of the different models; HR = hazard ratio, CI = confidence interval; CQ = chloroquine, HCQ = hydroxychloroquine; 3adjusted for gender, age, comorbidity CVA, comorbidity diabetes, comorbidity asthma/COPD, use of of broad-spectrum antibiotics, therapeutic anticoagulation, prophylactic anticoagulation, first day in ED; 4adjusted for gender, age, comorbidity asthma/COPD, use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, prophylactic anticoagulation, first day in ED; *all analyses were stratified by ICU restriction to reflect underlying potential differences in adverse incidences and risk factor prevalences.
