We estimate time from symptom onset to key clinical events, such as first clinical diagnosis, progression to severe clinical stages, development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), admission to the critical care unit (ICU), and discharge. The primary endpoints in this study include patients' time from symptom onset to clinical progression beyond the moderate stage, ICU admission, invasive ventilator use, and discharge. . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.22.20076190 doi: medRxiv preprint Table 3 : The association of demographic characteristics, baseline comorbidity, initial symptoms, and initial lab results with rate of clinical progression to severe stage, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and ICU admission . ./cache/cord-348137-dzmbfp2g.txt ./txt/cord-348137-dzmbfp2g.txt
