Similarly, in the logistic regression model for the primary outcome of hospitalisation after ED presentation for all inflammatory biomarkers, displayed in Table 3, IL-6 and CRP showed the highest predictive value in univariable analyses (IL-6 OR 31.836 [95%CI, 11.310–89.609], p<0.001, CRP OR 14.528 [95%CI, 6.602–31.971], p<0.001) for COVID-19. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and COVID-19.
