NOTE. Values are reported as median (ranges) unless otherwise specified. Ischemic state = vasopressor use for at least 2 days; hyperinflammatory state = any high-sensitivity C-reactive protein value ≥100 mg/L; hypercoagulable state = any D-dimer ≥5 mg/L. Because all patients on vasopressors were in the intensive care unit and most were intubated and on antibiotics and/or hydroxychloroquine, these variables were not entered in the multivariable model.

AST, aspartate aminotransferase; CI, confidence interval; NSAID, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug; ULN, upper limit of normal.
