  1. Continuous variables are expressed as median (interquartile range) and p-Value by Man-Whitney U test. Categorical variables are expressed as number (%) and p-Value by Chi-square test
  2. Missing albumin, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin in 32/215 patients. Missing c-reactive protein in 5/215 patients. D-Dimer available only from 15 patients. Missing chest X-ray report- 7 patients
  3. eGFR Estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated by CKD-EPI equation, U/L Units/litre
