OR and 95% CI calculated from independent, univariable logistic regression to identify effects of blood type on ICU admissions, intubation and death.

Adjusted p-values are from tests of conditional associations of blood type on each outcome in a multivariable logistic regression model including Hispanic ethnicity, age and CKD.

§

Median LOS was compared using a Kruskal–Wallis test.

HR and 95% CI’s result from a univariable Cox proportional hazards model with blood type as an independent predictor of survival to discharge, censoring on in-hospital death, with p-value indicated.

#

The adjusted p-value is from a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model to test conditional associations of blood type accounting for Hispanic ethnicity, age and CKD.

CKD: Chronic kidney disease; HR: Hazard ratio; ICU: Intensive care unit; IQR: Interquartile range; LOS: Length of hospital stay; OR: Odds ratio.
