Endpoint was a composite of mechanical ventilation or admission of intensive care unit, after all patients were followed for 30 days. Model 1: Univariate regression analysis. Model 2: Multivariate regression analysis with adjusting for sex, age and comorbidities (e.g. hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, cerebrovascular disease, COPD, asthma, chronic renal disease and chronic liver disease).
