Compared with the risk factors for non-diabetic patient death (Supplementary Tables 3, 4), we found that age (p = 0.002, OR = 1.037), dyspnea (p = 0.002, OR = 2.347), WBC count (p < 0.001, OR = 1.037), albumin (p < 0.001, OR = 0.987), PLT count (p = 0.001, OR = 0.966) and CRP (p < 0.001, OR = 1.007) were related to the risk of death in non-diabetic patients infected with COVID-19. Here, CRP is linked to COVID-19.
