CRP and COVID-19: After an additional adjustment for all variables included in the Cox regression model (Model 2), only a COVID-19 diagnosis (HR = 1.53; p = 0.02), in-hospital pulmonary complications (HR = 1.91; p = 0.008), and increased C-reactive protein (HR = 2.46; p < 0.001) significantly elevated the risk of in-hospital lethality in men.
