Timeframe: From day of ICU admission till index date, information obtained at index date; retrospective data was evaluated during approximately 6 months of this study

Population: Analysis population included all eligible participants whose data were included and observed in this study. Here, "Overall Number of Participants Analyzed" signifies those number of participants who had non-missing values and were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Length of ICU stay was measured in days from day of ICU admission till index date. Index date was defined as the date of nirmatrelvir, ritonavir (PAXLOVIDTM) treatment prescription, which could be any day between 1-Apr-2022 to 30-Jun-2023 (15-month look back period).
