It's worth noting that only 15.3% of the COVID group had received a dose of vaccine, compared with 35% of the sepsis group hospitalized during the pandemic.
The researchers used something called"propensity score overlap weighting" to account for the baseline differences among patients as well as for the stuff that happened during the hospitalization — essentially accounting for the particular severity of COVID. This is a rather novel method to account for traditional confounders, which I really like and my lab has used in aOkay, the big question.
