Multivariable logistic regression on fatal outcome was performed using the imputed data set. Obesity was defined by an indicated Body-Mass-Index > 30 kg/m2. Prior immunosuppressive medication includes an interval of 3 months before SARS-CoV-2 infection, therapy limitation defined as Do-Not-Intubate-, Do-Not-Resuscitate-Orders or the refusal of intensive care, advanced respiratory support as invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO. aOR: adjusted odds ratio. CI: confidence interval. COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. ECMO: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. * No reference level indicated in binary variables
