Event Rate and Primary Outcome According to CAC Event rate and primary outcome (first occurrence of noninvasive or invasive mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [ECMO], or death during hospitalization) according to absence or presence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) on chest computed tomography performed for the diagnosis of coronavirus disease-2019. The cumulative incidences were estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. CI = confidence interval.
