*255 patients could not be assigned an ACTT OS value

ACTT OS were estimated using the oxygen procedures received by patients during the hospitalization. ACTT OS ¾, no supplemental oxygen; ACTT OS 5, supplemental oxygen; ACTT OS 6: non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen; ACTT OS 7, ECMO using invasive mechanical ventilation. CC, major complication or comorbidity; ECMO, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; MCC, major complication or comorbidity; MS DRG, Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Group; ACTT OS, Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial Ordinal Scale; OR, operating room; PDX, principal diagnosis
