  1. Age, suPAR (soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor), CRP (C-reactive protein), Lymphocyte count and Creatinine were tested with Shapiro-Wilks test. Sex, Diabetes, Cardiovascular disease, Neurological disease and Pulmonary disease were tested with Pearson Chi-squared test. IQR: Interquartile range
