  1. Data expressed as frequency (percentage), mean (SD), median (range) as appropriate. P value was significant if < 0.05.
  2. Nominal data was compared by Chi-square test while all continuous data was compared by Student t test with exception of RBS, leucocytes, lymphocytes, CRP, D-dimer and SOFA were compared Mann Whitney test.
  3. RBS: random blood sugar; RDW: red cell distribution width; ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate; CRP: C-reactive protein; GGO: ground glass opacity; SOFA: sequential organ failure assessment; COVID-19: coronavirus disease 2019. RBS: random blood sugar.
  4. Significant values are given in bold.
  5. aIncluded chest computed tomography and plain radiograph.
