Odds-Ratios (OR) were calculated by univariable and multivariable not weighted logistic regression models. Subjective symptoms and variables with an excess of missing values (i.e. > 20%) were withdrawn from the multivariable analysis. Due to the strong correlation with oxygen flow rate and the number of missing values, respiratory rate was not included in the multivariate analysis

N/A not applicable

*Creatinine, lymphocyte count and ALT were included in the model as natural logarithmic transformation
