In OI (+) group, patients had significantly higher peak body temperature (37.85 ± 0.60 vs 37.64 ± 0.44 °C, P = .005), higher levels of CRP (42.70 ± 28.27 vs 13.90 ± 18.70 mg/L, P = .000) and procalcitonin (1.07 ± 3.92 vs 0.31 ± 0.77μg/L, P = .027), and lower levels of albumin (34.21 ± 5.65 vs 37.73 ± 4.70 g/L, P = .000). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and osteogenesis imperfecta.
