Differences and associations between non-hospitalised and hospitalised COVID-19 positive individuals. Baseline demographics and clinical characteristics Punadjusted values were based on χ2 test. For continuous variables, we used Student’s t-test. BMI was measured of 264 participants including 206 non-hospitalised and 58 hospitalised individuals.
*Statistically significant.
BMI, body mass index; CHD, coronary heart disease; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; OSA, obstructive sleep apnoea.
