Note: An analysis of clinical factors predicting antibody response utilizing a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). Estimated ratios refer to difference in antibody levels between first and second comparison groups. COVID-19 severity score was defined according to the NIH criteria (1: mild, 2: moderate, 3: severe, and 4: critical).

Values in bold are considered statistically significant with a p value <.05.

Abbreviations: AZA, azathioprine; MMF, mycophenolate mofetil.
