Ordinal logistic regression model was adopted in JMP15.0 software to explore the risk factors associated with severity of coronavirus disease 2019 patients. Step-by-step regression method (P for inclusion = 0.05, P for exclusion = 0.05) was applied and 3 variables were included in the final model. Results showed that total model test χ2 = 17.380, P < 0.001, which means at least one β in the equation did not equal to 0 and this model was preceded to constant 1. Good-to-fitness test showed χ2 = 59.137, P = 0.968 > 0.05, which means this model fit well. OR: Odds ratio.
