Kaplan–Meier Survival Curves for COVID‐CS vs PSM Control (COVID‐NCS) of the Cumulative Incidence of In‐Hospital Need for Mechanical Ventilation (a) and Mortality (b). COVID‐CS (ALP >3x ULN), control* (ALP ≤3x ULN); ULN = 125 U L⁻¹). *PSM COVID‐CS cohort (1:2 ratio) for age, gender, race, insurance and comorbidities (CAD, CLD, COPD, DM, ESRD, HF, HTN). CAD, coronary artery disease, CLD, chronic liver disease, COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, DM, diabetes, ESRD, end‐stage renal disease, HF, heart failure, HTN, hypertension, PSM, propensity score matching, ULN, upper limit of normal.
