Input covariates of CovEWS are placed towards the bottom of the table and separated from covariates that are not inputs by a horizontal line. For binary covariates, the Value columns indicate the percentage of patients presenting with the condition at the end of their respective observation periods. For continuous measurements, the Value columns indicate the median and 10th and 90th percentiles in parentheses of the observed value for measurements that are collected once per patient, such as age, and the median of observed values for measurements that are collected multiple times per patient, such as heart rate.
