In group 1 and group 2,the median ages were 70.00 and 55.00 years, respectively (p < 0.001).More cases of cardiovascular disease (64.29 vs 35.29%; p = 0.042),ARDS (100.00 vs 52.94%; p < 0.001) and higher median values of D-dimer(1.67 vs 0.49; p = 0.017), lactate dehydrogenase (337.50 vs 258.00; p= 0.026) and glucose (7.85 vs 7.05; p = 0.031), along with lowercounts of platelets (median, 134.00 vs 182.00; p = 0.028) and albumin(median, 33.45 vs 39.20; p < 0.001) were found in group 1, as compared withgroup 2. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
