Older age, systemic autoimmune conditions (vs chronic inflammatory arthritis) (OR: 2.65; 95% CI 1.22-5.7, p=0.014), hypertension, diabetes mellitus, lung disease, heart disease and glucocorticoids were associated with statistically significant greater risk of admission to the hospital. ./cache/cord-310902-cfci8lef.txt ./txt/cord-310902-cfci8lef.txt
