Binary clinical classification.

Organ/system Value Rule Clinical Interpretation
Lung 1, 0 1 if severity grading 4–2 and 0 if severity grading 1–0 Lung disease
Heart 1, 0 1 if cTnT > reference value or NT-proBNP gender specific reference value or Arrhythmia Heart disease
Liver 1, 0 1 if ALT and AST > gender-specific reference value Liver disease
Pancreas 1, 0 1 if lipase and/or pancreatic amylase > or < specific reference value Pancreas disease (either inflammation or depletion)
Kidney 1, 0 1 if creatinine > gender-specific reference value Kidney disease
Lymphoid system 1, 0 1 if NK cells < reference value or CD4 lymphocytes < reference value Innate and adaptive immune deficit
Olfactory/gustatory system 1, 0 1 if hypogeusia or hyposmia Olfactory and Gustatory deficit
Clotting system 1, 0 1 if D-dimer > 10× W/wo low fibrinogen level (with high basal level) Thromboembolism
Pro-inflammatory cytokines system 1, 0 1 if IL6 > reference value or LDH and CRP > reference value Hyperinflammatory response
