Multivariate Cox regression for PhA and hydration status as predictors of mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Phase angle (°)
Hydration (%)
HR (CI) p HR (CI) p
Crude model 2.480 (1.604–3.835) <0.001 1.115 (1.039–1.197) 0.003
Model 1 2.281 (1.365–3.813) 0.002 1.097 (1.015–1.180) 0.014
Model 2 2.507 (1.455–4.318) 0.001 1.112 (1.024–1.209) 0.012
Model 3 3.912 (1.322–11.572) 0.014 NA

The Hazard ratio (HR) for death was expressed per 1° decrease in PhA and 1% increase in hydration percentage, for a univariate model and sequential adjustment models. Dependent variable: survivors (0) vs. non-survivors (1). Cox regression was expressed by HR and 95% confidence interval (CI). NA (not applicable).

Model 1: adjusted for sex, age and BMI.

Model 2: additionally adjusted for diagnosis previous of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidaemia and heart disease.

Model 3: additionally adjusted for hydration status.
