  1. Continuous data were expressed in the form of the mean (± SD) and compared by the Mann-Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis test for groups of more than two, while nominal data were expressed in the form of frequency (percentage) and compared by χ2 tests. The P value is significant if < 0.05
  2. P1 P value between ICU and ward groups, P2 P value between ICU and home isolation group, P3 P value between ward and home isolation groups, P4 P value between the three groups, MMSE mini-mental state examination. * indicates a highly significant p-value
