CRP and diabetic ketoacidosis: We found the cumulative dose of glucocorticoid used (OR 1.006, 95% CI 1.004–1.007) and zinc supplementation (OR 2.76, 95% CI 2.24–3.40) independently associated with CAM, in addition to elevated C-reactive protein, host factors (renal transplantation, diabetes mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis during COVID-19), and rural residence (Table 2).
