Table 1.

General characteristics of study population (patients who “cleared” after previously being SARS-CoV-2 positive) for hospitalized and non-hospitalized post-clearance cohorts. Demographic variables and comorbidities in the hospitalized and non-hospitalized post-clearance cohorts. Frequency and proportions (n (%)) are shown for the categorical variables, and mean, median, standard deviation, and interquartile range (IQR) are shown for the continuous variables. The columns are: (1) Hospitalized post-clearance: clinical characteristics of the cohort of patients who are admitted or readmitted to the hospital following the estimated clearance date of SARS-CoV-2 infection, (2) Non-Hospitalized post-clearance: clinical characteristics of the control group of patients who are not admitted to the hospital following the estimated clearance date, (3) BH-corrected p-value: Benjamani-Hochberg corrected p-values using Fisher's exact test for comparisons of proportions and Mann-Whitney U test for continuous covariates.
