Table 3 Distribution of age, blood oxygen saturation, C reactive protein (CRP), and blood glucose concentration in patients with COVID-19 with or without hyperglycemia. The patients were considered to have hyperglycemia if they exhibited two-hour postprandial glucose (2hpp) ≥ 200 mg/dL or fasting blood sugar (FBS) ≥ 126 mg/dL on the first day of admission. SD: standard deviation; CRP: C reactive protein
