Age is presented as median [quartile 1, quartile 3] and categorical variables are presented as frequency (%). The P value for age was calculated from the Kruskal–Wallis Test. All other P values were calculated using the Chi‐Square test. Superscripts indicate missing data. ACEI indicates angiotensin II‐converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB, angiotensin II receptor antagonist/blocker; and COVID‐19, coronavirus disease 2019.
