Notes: (1) N = 8833, (2) BMI in kg/m2, (3) age in years; (4) for this analysis, the total cohort of 8833 patients was divided in four equal quartile cohorts based on the day of admission (1st quartile: 3/3–29/3/2020, 2nd quartile: 29/3–8/4/2020, 3rd quartile: 8/4–23/4/2020, 4th quartile: 23/4–31/10/2020). Abbreviations: BMI = body mass index, OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence interval, kg = kilogram, m = meter, * = reference group.
