| Odds ratio (95% CI) | p Value | |
| (A) Clinical conditions* | ||
| Obesity recorded on admission | 6.08 (1.45 to 25.37) | 0.013 |
| Chronic respiratory disease other than asthma or COPD | 3.17 (1.22 to 8.24) | 0.018 |
| (B) Other clinical parameters† | ||
| Radiologically-confirmed pneumonia | 4.97 (2.09 to 11.81) | 0.001 |

*
Multivariable analysis of demography, comorbidities and clinical characteristics was constructed based on observations from 631 cases.
†
A separate multivariable analysis was constructed for selected investigations and other possible prognostic indicators based on observations from 193 cases.
