Population size was N = 2796. Data shown are n (%) and or median (25th–75th percentile)

p values are calculated using Wald test (unadjusted and age-adjusted logistic regression). Quantitative variables were natural-log transformed and associated ORs correspond to an increase of 1 SD after standardisation, except for time from symptoms onset to hospital admission (1 day increase)

aeGFR determined by the CKD-EPI formula

Abbreviations: ALT, alanine aminotransferase; ULN, upper limit of normal; GGT, γ-glutamyl transferase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; CPK, creatine phosphokinase
