OR: odds ratio, CI: confdence interval

In multivariable logistic regression: i) ICU admission was the outcome and ii) age or delay between onset and hospital admission sex, continuous temperature, oxygen saturation, abnormal lung auscultation, monocyte count and C-reactive protein were additive covariates, Akaike information criterion = 216.0, test of Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit with 10 bins: P = 0.59

aodds ratio of ICU admission was multiplied by 1.62 per degree celsius increase
