CCI, Charlson comorbidity index; CI, Wald confidence interval; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; MI, myocardial infarction; Ref, reference level. OR [95% CI]: odds ratio with 95% confidence interval from logistic regression model of death in hospital. P-value: Student’s t-test for continuous variables and Chi-square test for categorical variables. P-value in italic: Mann–Whitney test for continuous variables and Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables.

Adjusted for time from hospital admission to anakinra initiation, age, gender, ethnicity, oxygen use, and CCI score.

P-value: Student’s t-test for continuous variables and Chi-square test for categorical variables.

Includes patients with discordant ethnicity information between the two consumer data sources (Acxiom and Epsilon).

Comorbidities included: diabetes, hypertension, pulmonary diseases, heart diseases (any of MI, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease), renal diseases, liver diseases, obesity.
