On multivariate analysis, hypertension (p=0.024), no recent SACT (p=0.017), hematological malignancy (p=0.029), low albumin (p≤0.001), leucocytosis (p=0.002) and lymphocyte count < 500/μl (p=0.004), correlated with mortality within six months of COVID-19 infection (Table 5). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and hypertensive disorder.
