Multiple comparisons and differences between healthy, mild, and severe COVID-19 infections about various biomarkers

Biomarker name	Control vs. mild (P value)	Control vs. severe (P value)	Mild vs. severe (P value)
CRP mg/l	0.543^ns	0.0001****	0.0001****
Ferritin ng/ml	0.017*	0.0001****	0.0001****
ESR mm/h	0.002**	0.0001****	0.0001****
IL-6	0.015*	0.0001****	0.01**
IL1β	0.136^ns	0.997^ns	0.077^ns
TNF-α	0.117^ns	0.910^ns	0.166^ns

A Post Hoc test (Turkey HSD) was done to show the significance among the groups based on the biomarkers considered in this study.

CRP, C-reactive protein; ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate; IL-6, interleukin-6; IL-1β, interleukin-1-beta; ns, no significant; TNF-α, tumour necrosis factor-alpha.

P * < 0.05, P ** < 0.01, P ***< 0.001, **** P < 0.0001.
