Frequency of severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19), hospital mortality, and oxygen delivery during the study period. (A) Frequency of severe COVID-19 over study period, reflecting data pooled across five imputed datasets and defined as proportion of all symptomatic COVID-19 admissions who fulfilled criteria for severe COVID-19 (N = 1,076); shading indicates Wilson score 95% confidence interval (CI). (B) Cumulative incidence of hospital outcomes for patients with severe COVID-19 in first imputed dataset; shading indicates 95% CI (n = 309; 2 patients with unknown duration of hospitalization excluded). (C) Hospital vital status over study period for patients with severe COVID-19 in first imputed dataset (n = 311). (D) Density plot of peak oxygen flow rates received by patients with severe COVID-19 during study period, stratified by hospital vital status; dashed lines indicate median oxygen flow rate for each group (n = 209).
