Statistical analysis
Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS ver. 23.0 (SPSS Inc.,
Chicago, IL, USA). P -value of < 0.05 was chosen for
statistical significance. Baseline clinical data of the patients and
blood indices were expressed as mean ± standard deviation for continuous
variables or as numbers with percentages for categorical data. Studentt test was used to identify differences between complete recovery
and partial recovery groups for continuous variables. The chi-square
test was used for comparisons of categorical variables. Multivariate
logistic regression analyses were used to calculate the odds ratio and
confidence intervals [OR (CI)] and assess the association of
complete blood count indices and baseline characteristics with
post-acute COVID-19 recovery status.
