Fig. 6: Value distribution of the main biomarkers among all recovered and deceased patients.

a Plots of the distribution of AM (albumin), HG (hemoglobin), TP (total protein), and LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) in recovered patients, demonstrating that the recovery day is statistically negatively correlated with AM, HG, and TP but positively correlated with LDH (see the red lines, p value<0.001 with a Pearson correlation analysis). b The difference in the AM, HG, TP, and LDH statistics between the recovered and deceased patients. Compared with the recovered patients, the patients who died generally had lower levels of AM, HG, and LDH and higher levels of TP. The centerline and the bounds of each box correspond to the median value and the interquartile range, respectively, and the whiskers mark the range of the non-outlier data.
