|  | Multivariable Regression Models (Secondary Cases ~ ACE2 Transcription + RNA Viral Load + Case Description + ACE2 Transcription: Case Description) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Beta Coefficients (95% CI) | Poisson | Quasi-Poisson | Negative Binomial (NB) |
ACE2 Transcription in HCW | β -0.164 (-0.236- [-0.0919]) | β -0.164 (-0.273-[-0.0528]) | β -0.132 (-0.255- [-0.0181]) |
RNA Viral Load | β 2.73*10^-3 (5.34*10^-3–0.0976) | β 2.73*10^-3 (-0.141-0.150) | β -0.0197 (-0.164- [0.123]) |
Case (Patient) | β -0.808 (-1.20- [-0.421]) | β -0.808 (-1.43- [-0.235]) | β -0.782 (-1.42- [-0.162]) |
ACE2 Transcription in Patients | β 0.208 (0.0958-0.320) | β 0.208 (0.0382–0.382) | β 0.187 (0.01011-0.370) |
