The aim of the present study was to estimate whether the CRP level is able to act as a marker in indicating the severity of COVID-19. Methods Patients who complained cough or chest pain with or without fever were enrolled after laboratory confirmed of SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleic acid via qRT-PCR. Chest computed tomography (CT) was then performed to classify the patients into mild, moderate and severe pneumonia groups according to the interim management guideline. Then linear regression models were applied to analyze the association between c-reactive protein (CRP) levels and severity of COVID-19 pneumonia. Results When compared to mild pneumonia, the adjusted-Odds Ratio were 11.46, p = 0.029 and 23.40, p = 0.025 in moderate and severe pneumonia, respectively. The area under receiver operation curve was 0.898 (95% CI 0.835, 0.962, p  Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Subject The topic of the resource Pneumonia, CRP, CT, Severity, SARS-CoV-2 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context DOI: 10.1186/s12941-020-00362-2 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available BMC Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Infectious and parasitic diseases, Therapeutics.
