Wald statistics. All tests are 2-sided. ACE = angiotensin-converting enzyme; ARB = angiotensin II receptor blocker; BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval; ICU = intensive care unit; NSAID = nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; OR = odds ratio; SpO2 = oxygen saturation as detected by the pulse oximeter; WHO = World Health Organization.
