a

Severe or critical defined according to WHO severity definition. ICU: Intensive care unit.

b

Odds ratio adjusted using logistic regression model with the following variables: age, sex, BMI, diabetes, hypertension, renal disease, number of comorbidities (that includes diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease (heart failure/coronary artery disease), stroke, renal disease, asthma and obesity) and inpatient COVID-19 regimen.

c

Odds ratios adjusted using propensity score matching model.

*

For multiplicity correction, Bonferroni method was used to adjust the P values.
