CRP and COVID-19: At hospital admission a higher respiratory rate (p-value 2.79x10-02), the administration of supplementary oxygen (p-value 6.81x10-03), higher levels of CRP (p-value 1.73x10-03) and lymphocytes (p-value 2.76x10-02) were all associated with COVID-19 and once admitted a longer length of stay (p-value 5.51x10-10) was associated with increased 30 day mortality (p-value 4.42x10-05) (Table 1).
