Risk factors associated with disease severity in COVID-19 patients. Univariate (a) and multivariate (b) logistic regression analysis in COVID-19 patients. OR (odds ratio), 95% CI (confidence interval) and p values are shown. Numbers in red are the number of patients considered for each variable.

Risk factors associated with length of hospital stay in COVID-19 patients. (a) Graph showing length of hospital stay (days) in pneumonia or severe pneumonia patients. Data are median and IQR (interquartile range). P-value was calculated by Mann-Whitney U test. (b) Summary of demographic, laboratory and treatments analysed against length of hospital stay in COVID-19 patients. P-values were calculated by log-rank test or Spearman's Rank-Order correlation, as appropriate. (c) Kaplan-Meier plot showing the overall hospital stay in COVID-19 patients with normal or low lymphocyte count (< 1.1 × 109/L). Numbers below are n (%). P-value was calculated by log-rank test. (d) Kaplan-Meier plot showing the overall hospital stay in COVID-19 patients treated with or without glucocorticoids. Numbers below are n (%). P-value was calculated by log-rank test.
