Prognostic Markers in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients: The Role of IP-10 and C-Reactive Protein

Table 8

Routine laboratory findings and multiplex quantifications after 7 days of hospitalization in patients who had a faster clinical recovery (discharged or reaching for at least 24 hours within 14 days) vs. all the other patients. Data are expressed as median (IQR). Bold text highlights the statistically significant results.
