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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| aCL IgM | Thrombotic history † | 92 | 1; 1.2% [0, 6.8] | 2; 16.7% [2.1, 48.4] | 0.044 | 0.046 |
| aPS IgM | COVID-19-related thrombosis † | 92 | 5; 5.8% [1.9, 13] | 2; 40% [5.3, 85.3] | 0.046 | 0.050 |
| aPI IgM | IL-6 †† | 72 | 27.5 [10.6, 63.5] | 150 [88.2, 335] | 0.007 | 0.012 |
| aPI IgM | ferritin †† | 82 | 472 [259, 810] | 1657 [630, 2366] | 0.034 | 0.041 |
| aPE IgG | INR †† | 78 | 1.1 [1.0, 1.2] | 1.4 [1.35, 1.45] | 0.041 | 0.043 |
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.
