Multivariable Cox regression analysis of clinical indicators of in-hospital mortality in patients with severe COVID-19. (A) In multivariable model 1, CK-MB > 2.2 ng/mL, cTnI > 0.026 ng/mL, and NT-proBNP > 900 pg/mL were risk factors; these cardiac indicators were transformed into categorical variables according to the cut-off points, and procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, and NT-proBNP were transformed into categorical variables according to the 99th percentile upper reference limit. (B) In multivariable model 2, senior age, C-reactive protein, MYO, cTnI, and NT-proBNP were risk factors; these biomarkers were performed as continuous variables. HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; CK-MB, creatinine kinase-myocardial band; MYO, myoglobin; cTnI, cardiac troponin I; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.
