^a)Binary logistic regression was used to estimate crude and adjusted odds ratio for categorical variables, and linear logistic regression was used to estimate crude and adjusted exponential beta for time to death and discharge. ^b)Adjusted for severity, age, have at least one underlying disease. P-value <0.05.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; ICU, intensive care unit; NIV, non-invasive ventilation; OR, odds ratio.
