*

The difference in means or proportions divided by standard error. It is indifferent to sample size. Absolute value ranges from 0.0–1.0.

Inverse probability of censoring weights were estimated via a logistic regression model for loss to follow-up that included all demographic data available at enrollment: age, sex, race, residing at home before critical illness, COVID-19 status, and baseline MSPSS score.
