  3. 2General Physicians and Medical Intern are group together as Physicians
  4. 3Anesthesiologists, Pulmonary and Critical Care, and Infectious Disease Specialist are grouped together in to Intensive Care
  5. 4Rest of the specialties i.e. Cardiologist, Dermatologist, Otolaryngologists, Gynecologist/Obstetrician, Hematologist/Oncologist, Neurologist, Ophthalmologist, Pediatrician, Pathologist, Psychiatrist, and Radiologist are group into Medical Allied
  6. Model 1 = Crude Odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for univariate logistic regression
  7. Model 2 = Adjusted Odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for age in multivariate logistic regression
