  1. Vaccination means receiving at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Mean daily steroid dose means average dexamethasone dose per day within whole hospitalization. Continuous data are expressed as median with IQR, and categorical data are expressed as number of patients (%). P-value is analyzed by Chi-square test, Student’s t-test, or Mann–Whitney U test. Data are presented as median (IQR) and n(%) unless otherwise indicated. N/A not applicable
