Note: An analysis of clinical factors predicting antibody response utilizing a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). The model utilizes all serological data points regardless of a corresponding data point being available in the matched control. SOTRs vs. controls adjusted for age, sex, and COVID-19 severity score. Estimated ratio refers to the difference in antibody levels between the first and the second comparison groups. Severity score was defined according to the NIH criteria (1: mild, 2: moderate, 3: severe, 4: critical).

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