The factors which remained significant after applying the hierarchical model were rural residents (OR = 3.2 [95% CI: 1.05\u201310.3]) and history of oxygen therapy (OR = 5.42 [95% CI: 1.24\u201323.8]).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study concludes that mucormycosis is independent of the COVID-19 status.
