Table 1.

Characteristics of two groups of COVID-19 patients defined according to their hospitalisation either in a respiratory ward (n = 61) or in an intensive care unit (n = 43). (n = 104; mean ± SEM); ICU: Intensive Care Unit, BMI: Body Mass Index; PaO2: arterial pressure in oxygen; CT-Scan: percentage of lung ground glass opacity and area with more condensed aspect. HT: Hypertension; COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
