Table 5 Early predictors for severe patients with COVID-19

	P	OR (95% CI)
Age above 60	< 0.001	5.6 (3.1, 9.9)
Gender (male)	0.005	2.2 (1.3, 3.7)
Chronic kidney disease	0.026	14.7 (1.4, 157.1)
Cardiovascular related diseases^a	0.030	2.0 (1.1, 3.7)
High Fever (temperature ≥ 38.5 ℃)	0.005	2.2 (1.3, 3.8)
Significant decreased lymphocyte count (< 0.8 × 10⁹ per L)	0.002	2.5 (1.4, 4.5)
Increased NLR (> 4.7)	0.012	2.2 (1.3, 3.8)

Multiple logistic regression conducted in this analysis. Due to the small sample size of fatal cases, severe patients with COVID-19 in this model included both severe cases and fatal cases. Common case was used as reference group
