Comparison of interventions/treatments used for patients in both
hospitals
The majority of the patients (93%) were admitted to the ICU at some
point and most of the patients (89%) required ventilation during their
treatment course. There was no statistically significant difference
between hospitals in the ICU admission (P -value= 0.644) or
ventilation rates (P -value= 0.262) among the included patients.
Regarding drugs administered, about two thirds (64%) of the patients
were treated with hydroxychloroquine, and most of the patients (74%)
were treated with heparin. . There was a statistically significant
difference among the two hospitals in heparin usage rates
(P -value< 0.001), while hydroxychloroquine usage rates
were comparable (P -value= 0.811) (Table 5) .
