CRP and Pleural effusion: The multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that advanced age (>60 years) [hazard ratio (HR): 10.7, confidence interval (CI): 2.5–44.9, P < 0.001), undergoing chemotherapy (HR: 9.5, CI: 2.7–32.9, P < 0.001), presence of pleural effusion (HR: 5.74, CI: 1.6–20.8, P = 0.008), and increased CRP levels (>14.1 mg/L) (HR: 6.3, CI: 1.2–34.3, P = 0.033) were risk factors for all-cause mortality in patients with proven aspergillosis.
