Table 2 Comorbidities among Covid-19 patients admitted for treatment. The number and percentage of patients for each variable are provided in columns “survivor” and “non-survivor”. The P values is are based on comparisons between “survivor” and “non-survivor” patients. CKD, chronic kidney disease; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; ESRD, end-stage renal disease
