A history of underlying conditions was significantly higher in non-OD patients (p < .05). Hypertension and history of COVID-19 in family members were significantly higher in non-OD and OD patients, respectively. A history of cancer, asthma, liver, kidney, pulmonary, and cardiovascular diseases was more prominent in Non-OD patients (p < .05). The Asterisks in the table denote statistically significant p-values.
