Utility
Baseline utility 0.877 Unknown because it is not mentioned in the data source The referred study includes both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients but did not stratify 2 patients for COVID-19 infected. 30
Disutility values for ambulatory care patients or patients admitted to general wards -0.056
Disutility value for ICU patients without MV or with MV -0.284
Disutility value for PACS -0.027 Unknown because it is not mentioned in the data source Unknown because it is not mentioned in the data source 31, subtracting the baseline QoL value (0.877) from the QoL value (0.850)
