Table 3 Age- and gender-adjusted multinomial logistic regression analysis of the association between interleukins (IL-22 and IL-33) and COVID-19

From: Interleukin-22 and interleukin-33 show up-regulated levels in the serum of patients with mild/moderate Coronavirus disease 2019

Cytokine; pg/mL	Group	Cases; n = 90		HC; n = 90		OR (95% CI)	p-value (pc)
Cytokine; pg/mL	Group	n	%	n	%	OR (95% CI)	p-value (pc)
IL-22	LP	5	5.6	45	50.0	Reference (1.0)	< 0.001 (0.001)
IL-22	HP	85	94.4	45	50.0	17.80 (6.48–48.90)	< 0.001 (0.001)
IL-33	LP	7	7.8	51	56.7	Reference (1.0)	< 0.001 (0.001)
IL-33	HP	83	92.2	39	43.3	19.0 (7.4–48.6)

IL Interleukin, LP Low-production (≤ control median), HP High-production (> control median), HC Healthy controls, OR Odds ratio, CI Confidence interval, p: Two-tailed probability, pc: Bonferroni correction probability (significant p-value is indicated in bold)
