According to this dataset, patients with severe COVID-19 have a higher incidence of high CRP (81.5%, 110 cases out of 135) than those with a mild form of the disease (56.5%, 371 cases out of 658) suggesting an odds ratio (OR) of 3.4 with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) (2.15 to 5.4). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and COVID-19.
