The other meta-analysis with 2445 patients (1,966 non-severe; 479 with severe illness or admitted to ICU) from 12 cohorts reported increased ORs for DM2 (OR 3.17; 95% CI 2.26–4.45), fever (1.67; 1.15–2.42), dyspnea (4.17; 2.04–8.53), but marginally for cough (1.26; 0.95–1.66) and myalgia (1.31; 0.97–1.77); lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, hypercreatininemia, and elevated CRP were also more prevalent in the severe group [30]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is Myalgia.
