Differences in demographics and lipid profile between COVID-19 patients and sick controls.
| COVID-19 Patients (n = 50) | Sick Controls (n = 30) | p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age | 50.5 (40.5–66) | 55.5 (33.2–63.7) | 0.591 |
| Female sex | 20 | 10 | 0.721 |
| Male sex | 30 | 20 | |
| Apo A1 (g/L) | 0.98 (0.86–1.26) | 1.23 (1.03–1.49) | 0.006 |
| Apo B (g/L) | 0.72 (0.53–1.01) | 0.74 (0.51–0.81) | 0.504 |
| Apo B/apo A1 | 0.63 (0.52–1.01) | 0.55 (0.41–0.70) | 0.041 |
| HDL-C (mg/dL) | 39.5 (28–50) | 44.5 (31.5–60.2) | 0.112 |
| LDL-C (mg/dL) | 93.5 (60.5–129.5) | 94.5 (67.5–116) | 0.618 |
| TG (mg/dL) | 166.5 (127–227.7) | 146 (112–182) | 0.283 |
| TC (mg/dL) | 169 (136.6–223.5) | 182.3 (146.6–231.2) | 0.842 |
All data presented as median (IQR). P-values calculated with Mann-Whitney U test. Apo A1 – apolipoprotein A1, apo B – apolipoprotein B, HDL-C - high density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C - low density lipoprotein cholesterol, TG – triglycerides, TC – total cholesterol, COVID-19 – coronavirus disease 2019.
