CRP and COVID-19: Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher CRP (OR = 1.021, 95% CI: 1.008–1.033, p = 0.000) and lower platelet count (OR = 0.989, 95% CI: 0.981–0.997, p = 0.005) were independent risk factors for the severe form of COVID-19, with a need for hospitalization and oxygen therapy later on (Table 4).
