Frequency and adjusted odds of in-hospital mortality and critical illness in patients with COVID-19. Shown are frequencies and odds of in-hospital mortality and critical illness by tertile of initial cardiac troponin (cTn) concentration (A) and peak cTn concentration (B), and based on the timing of myocardial injury (C). Adjusted odds associated with each tertile of cTn in A and B are compared with COVID-19 patients in the lowest tertile of cTn measured. Odds ratios are adjusted for age, sex, race, body mass index, tobacco use, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, previous myocardial infarction, previous heart failure, atrial fibrillation or malignancy, temperature at presentation, pulse oximetry at presentation, outpatient prescriptions for antiplatelets, statin and β-blocker use, C-reactive protein, creatinine, D-dimer, absolute lymphocyte count, and platelet count.
