CRP and diabetes mellitus: In a multivariate analysis including clinical, biological, and quantitative CT parameters (Table 2), both volume percentages of all opacities (OR, 2.70; 95% CI: 1.49–4.88, p < 0.001) and consolidation (OR, 4.08; 95% CI: 1.90–8.78, p < 0.001) were independent predictors of deterioration or death, as were diabetes, history of cardiac disease, serum C-reactive protein, and neutrophils-lymphocytes ratio.
