A is the comparison group. The regression adjusts for age, gender, race, comorbidities, clinical characteristics, inflammatory markers, 4C score and COVID-19 medications including anticoagulation status. The model was bootstrapped 2,000 times with replacement. The values shown are odds ratio (95% confidence interval), P value. ICU: intensive care unit; AKI: acute kidney injury; VTE: venous thromboembolism; COVID-19: coronavirus disease 2019.
