In binary logistic regression, absence of HCoV OC43-specific antibodies (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 2.68 [95% CI 1.09 - 7.05]) and male sex (AOR 2.98 [95% CI 1.38 - 6.63]) were the strongest predictors for critical disease, while age (AOR 1.02 [95% CI 0.99 - 1.04]) and BMI (AOR 1.07 [95% CI 1.00 - 1.16]) did not reach statistical significance in this cohort.
