*Adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, smoking status, CCI score, time of COVID-19 diagnosis, BMI category, SBP (quartile), DBP (quartile), HDL level (quartile), and LDL level (quartile). Additional adjustments for HbA1c level, insulin use, metformin use, DPP-4 inhibitor use, GLP-1R agonist use, and SGLT2 inhibitor use in analyses of patients with type 2 diabetes.

†At risk defined based on elevated BMI, pre-diabetes diagnosis, or elevated HbA1c.
