Data are presented as mean and 95% confidence interval for continuous variables and numbers and percentages for categorical variables, otherwise stated. For continuous variables with normal distribution, a t-test was performed, and for variables that violated the normality, a Wilcoxon rank-sum test was performed (SBP, DBP, and HR). BMI = body mass index; PCR = polymerase chain reaction; Ct = cycle threshold; RdRp = RNA-dependent RNA polymerase; BP = blood pressure.
