SpO2 = oxygen saturation

  1. Number of patients with characteristic is followed by percentage or mean (std) or median (IQR) as appropriate
  2. aIndicates a significant difference between groups (p < 0.05). Median differences are calculated using the Hodges-Lehmann Estimation location shift. Frequency differences and mean differences are calculated as relative differences
