Discriminatory Value of Adiponectin to Leptin Ratio for COVID-19 Pneumonia

Table 4

Logistic multivariate regression models evaluating the association of BMI and leptin with maximum respiratory support.

Dependent variable: use of VM/HFNC vs NIMV
Predictive variablesOR95% CI value

Age1.10(1.01–1.23)0.048
Sex (M)3.38(0.51–31.85)0.237
BMI1.39(1.09–1.96)0.023
Leptin1.00(0.99–1.00)0.491

BMI is for body mass index; NIMV is for noninvasive mechanical ventilation; VM/HFNC is for Venturi mask/high-flow nasal cannula (VM/HFNC); OR is for odds ratio; CI is for confidence interval.
