Table 3.

Significant clinical and laboratory data from COVID-19 inpatients on admission associated with APLA positivity.

APLA Parameter N 1 APLA Negative APLA Positive p-Value Adjusted p-Value

Only those APLAs with a significant association with a clinical or laboratory parameter are presented. † For categorical variables (thrombotic history and COVID-19-related thrombosis), it shows the number of people presenting the clinical parameter distributed in whether they were positive or negative for the indicated APLA; percentage results from dividing it by the number of people testing positive or negative for that aPL according to Table 2 (n; % [95% CI], Fisher’s exact test). †† For numerical variables (IL-6, ferritin, and PT), it shows the median value and IQR of that clinical parameter for those patients who tested positive or negative for the indicated APLA (median [IQR] and Mann–Whitney U test). 1 The n column indicates the total number of patients who were analysed for the indicated clinical parameter. IL-6, interleukin-6; INR, international normalised ratio.
