The number of patients is expressed as the absolute value (percentage), [sum of the two severity groups] or [sum of the worsen and died]. The duration of hospitalization is expressed as median days ([25–75% interquartile range], range)
MI moderate I, M II moderate II
**P < 0.001 compared with the ratio of patients to the total number in the age group < 40 years
‡P < 0.001 compared with the duration of hospitalization of patients < 40 years and 40–69 years
¶P = 0.03 compared with the ratio of patients in the age group < 40 years
