Table 2.
The number and percentage of subjects outside of the normal reference range.
| Patients that were alive at discharge (n = 146) | Patients that ended up dying at the hospital (n = 101) | Combined total (n = 247) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number & percentage of patients whose pulse oximetry saturation at admission was <90% | 79 (54%)* | 82 (81%) | 161 (85%) |
| Number & percentage of patients whose Leukocyte concentration at admission was outside of the normal reference range (< 3,600 or > 9,200 cells per mm3) (21) | 76 (52%)* | 84 (83%) | 160 (65%) |
| Number & percentage of patients whose Neutrophil concentration at admission was outside of the normal reference range (<1,800 or 6,900 cells per mm3) (20) | 85 (58%)* | 86 (85%) | 171 (69%) |
| Number & percentage of patients whose neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) at admission was outside of the normal reference range (<0.8 or > 3.7) (20) | 113 (77%)* | 95 (94%) | 208 (84%) |
| Number & percentage of patients whose derived neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) at admission was clinically high (≥ 2.6) (25) | 103 (71%)* | 90 (89%) | 193 (78%) |
| Number & percentage of patients whose lymphocyte concentration at admission was outside of the normal reference range (<1,300 or 3,800 cells per mm3) (20) | 90 (62%) | 76 (75%) | 166 (67%) |
| Number & percentage of patients whose platelet concentration at admission was outside of the normal reference range (< 140 or > 320 × 109 platelets per L of blood for males; and < 180 or > 380 × 109 platelets per L of blood for females) (21) | 55 (38%) | 50 (50%) | 105 (43%) |
| Number & percentage of patients whose platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) at admission was outside of the normal reference range (< 36.6 or > 149.1 for males; and < 43.4 or > 172.7 for females) (22) | 115 (79%) | 78 (77%) | 193 (78%) |
| Number & percentage of patients whose Eosinophil concentration at admission was clinically high (> 400 cells per μL of blood) (21). | 4 (3%) | 3 (3%) | 7 (3%) |
| Number & percentage of patients whose C-Reactive Protein concentration at admission was clinically high (> 3 mg/L) (23). | 145 (99%) | 101 (100%) | 246 (100%) |
| Number & percentage of patients whose D-Dimer concentration at admission was clinically high (> 260 ng/mL) (24).# | 122 (84%) | 88 (87%) | 210 (85%) |
Percentages were rounded to the nearest whole number for simplicity. # The D-Dimer value was missing for two patients alive at discharge and three patients dying in the hospital, so the number of subjects was 144 and 98, respectively. The asterisk * signifies that the difference in proportions between groups was statistically significant at a false discovery rate of 5% when adjusted for multiple testing.
