Values are expressed as frequency and % response of the final respondents. The percentage was calculated considering the samples in the individual groups. Pearson's chi-squared test was applied to observe the association of gender, age, and the previous history of comorbidity in the incidence of hospitalization. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
