The highest levels of WBC, neutrophils, CRP, fibrinogen, D-dimer, ferritin, LDH, and procalcitonin were preferentially reported in patients admitted in ICU than in those that were managed in the other hospital units, or who died during the course of COVID-19 (Fig. 3, in which the laboratory data obtained in females and males were shown together with the “outlier” values and with the laboratory “reference” values, and Supplementary Table 5). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is COVID-19.
