  1. Multivariate model 3: adjusted for age, care home resident, frailty, smoking, BMI, CVD, respiratory diseases, neutrophil: lymphocyte ratio, C-reactive protein (CRP), eGFR, and acute kidney injury. Model did not include 18 patients without BMI and CRP values
  2. BMI Body mass index, CVD Cardio vascular disease; includes at least one of the following- ischemic heart disease (IHD), myocardial infarction (MI), congestive cardiac failure (CCF), cerebrovascular accident (CVA), Respiratory diseases include a composite of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary fibrosis. eGFR Estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated by CKD-EPI equation, OR Odds ratio, CI Confidence interval
