Note: Comorbidities were based on the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases from the Programme de Medicalisation des Systèmes d’Information (PMSI)—French medico-administrative database based on diagnosis-related groups. P value in bold denotes statistical significance. N, effective; ICU, intensive care unit; IQR, interquartile range; SAPS II score, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II; SCZ, schizophrenia.

aIf the body mass index (BMI) is 18.5 to <25: normal weight; if the BMI is 25.0 to <30: overweight; and if the BMI is 30.0 or higher: obesity.

bGeographical exposure: 4 areas were identified with different pandemic exposure from the lowest to the highest: west, southeast, northeast, and Ile-de-France.
