COVID-19: coronavirus disease 2019; WBC: white blood cell; NLR: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; PLR: platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; OR: odd ratio; CI: confidence interval.
The number of COVID-19 patients who tested D-dimer was 95 and 10 in the non-severe group and severe group, respectively.
The number of COVID-19 patients who tested erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 97 and 12 in the non-severe group and severe group, respectively.
