The AUC for the assessed indices was LMR (0.738, P = 0.008), NLPR (0.721, P < 0.001), CRP/L (0.692, P = 0.002), NLR (0.649, P < 0.001), PLR (0.643, P = 0.011), SIRI (0.623, P = 0.032), dNLR (0.590, P = 0.111), SII (0.571, P = 0.207), and AISI (0.567, P-0.244). Multivariate analysis showed that NLPR > 0.011 (OR: 38.751, P = 0.014), and CRP/L > 7.6 (OR: 7.604, P = 0.022) are possible independent diagnostic factors for COVID-19 infection.Conclusion: NLPR and CRP/L could be potential independent diagnostic factors for COVID-19 infection.Keywords: COVID-19, C-reactive protein, lymphocytes, inflammatory index, platelets, SII |
