For the predicting factor of mortality, the variables with a p-value of less than 0.1 included fever (p = 0.0003), tachycardia (p = 0.0501), tachypnea (p = 0.0377), a positive qSOFA score (p = 0.0049), a cancer history (p = 0.0281), thrombocytopenia (p = 0.0145), and CRP elevation (p = 0.0033). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is cancer.
