ICU, Intensive care unit; PAD, pulmonary artery diameter; PCFS, Post–COVID-19 Functional Status scale.P values correspond to analysis of variance and Student t test. The used effect sizes are Cohen’s d for the t test and eta squared for analysis of variance test.
The group sizes are slightly less than the number of survivors due to missing data.
