Abstract:
Baseline PT at a cut-off value � 16.25 seconds differentiated severe COVID-19 patients
from mild and moderate patients (AUC: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.83–0.95). PT also differentiated
mild COVID-19 patients from moderate and severe patients at a cut-off value � 15.35 seconds (AUC: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.84–0.96). Moreover, alcohol drinkers were a 3.52 times more
likely chance of having severe disease than non-drinkers (95% CI: 1.41–8.81). A one-year
increment in age also increased the odds of disease severity by 6% (95% CI: 3–9%). An
increment of � 0.65 seconds from the baseline PT predicted poor prognosis (AUC: 0.93,
0.87–0.99)
