Plot of propensity scores by matching status for (A) “healthy” patients, with neither a history of cardiovascular disease nor hypertension, and (B) patients with a history of cardiovascular disease and/or hypertension. Exposed versus unexposed refers to history of statin and/or anti-hypertensive medication use prior to hospitalization. The y axis shows the estimated probability of medication use (i.e. the propensity score), from the propensity score logistic regression model. Tables show the odds ratio (OR) for risk of death (in-hospital death or discharge to hospice) or severe disease (need for intensive care unit or mechanical ventilation, or death), comparing exposed to matched unexposed patients.
