  1. #P values for viral clearance and clinical scale are based on chi-square test.
  2. *P-value for a median length of stay is based on the log-rank test.
  3. P values for the rest of the variables are based on Kruskal–Wallis test.
  4. SOFA -Daily Sequential Organ Failure Assessment = SOFA score17.
