Laboratory examination on admission indicated increased liver enzymes (AST increase 22.02 vs. 14.77%, p < 0.001), kidney function abnormalities (CREA increase 10.83 vs. 5.43%, p < 0.001) and increased C-reactive protein (38.27 vs. 29.45%, p = 0.002) and procalcitonin level (27.80 vs. 16.16% p < 0.001) in the cancer group compared to the non-cancer group (Supplementary Table 1). Here, CRP is linked to cancer.
