Hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) for variables with significant predictive value for hospitalization in the outpatient telemedicine cohort.
| Variable | Unadjusted HR (95% CI) | P value | Adjusted HRa (95% CI) | P value | Adjusted ORb (95% CI) | P value |
| Tier 1 | Reference | N/Ac | Reference | N/A | Reference | N/A |
| Tier 2 | 5.29 (1.53-18.32) | .009 | 3.74 (1.06-13.27) | .04 | 4.87 (1.35-17.57) | .02 |
| Tier 3 | 16.24 (4.74-55.59) | <.001 | 10.87 (3.09-38.27) | <.001 | 15.38 (4.21-56.20) | <.001 |
| Aged ≥60 years | 3.77 (1.94-7.34) | <.001 | 2.53 (1.27-5.02) | .008 | 2.94 (1.38-6.25) | .005 |
| Reported obesity | 2.27 (1.17-4.41) | .02 | 2.09 (1.06-4.13) | .03 | 2.17 (1.01-4.67) | .048 |
| Male | 1.76 (0.91-3.43) | .10 | Analyzed by strata | N/A | 1.94 (0.91-4.18) | .09 |
aCox overall model of fit: χ24=41.4; P<.001.
bLogistic regression overall model of fit: χ25=50.8; P<.001.
cN/A: not applicable; P value was not calculated because the variable was used as the reference (in the case of Tier 1) or because the variable was analyzed by strata (in the case of gender).
