Data presented as HR (95% CI), p-value unless otherwise indicated. Values represent hazard ratios for death from COVID-19, with 95% confidence intervals for the average effect of each grouped clusters compared with other grouped clusters. p-values assess whether the distribution of characteristics within a given cluster is significantly different from a characteristic in other clusters in a regression model adjusted for age and WHO severity ordinal scale [21] at the time of admission. Numbers highlighted in boldface represent clusters that had significantly (p<0.05) different characteristics from characteristics in other clusters. CI: confidence interval; HR: hazard ratio; WHO: World Health Organization.
