Clinical Features of COVID-19 Patients with Diabetes and Secondary Hyperglycemia

Table 3

Spearman’s correlation between the presence of diabetes and different characteristics.

Characteristics	Correlation coefficient
Age ()	0.346	0.008
Severe COVID-19	0.318	0.015
Hs-CRP (μmol/L)	0.556	0.000
LDH (U/L)	0.635	0.000
CD4 (cell/μl)	-0.351	0.007
CD8 (cell/μl)	0.332	0.011
CD4/CD8	-0.652	0.000
CD3 (cell/μl)	-0.638	0.000
IL-6 (pg/ml)	0.703	0.000

Hs-CRP: high-sensitive C-reactive protein; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase; IL-6: interleukin-6. The presence of diabetes was positively correlated with age, hs-CRP, LDH, IL-6, CD8+, severity of COVID-19, and negatively correlated with CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+.
