Circulating Adiponectin Levels Are Inversely Associated with Mortality and Respiratory Failure in Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19

Figure 1

Forest plots of the association between adipokines and 90-day mortality (a) and respiratory failure (b) in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Fully adjusted (only adiponectin): adjusted for age groups, sex, BMI, hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and oxygen saturation at admission. As adiponectin and leptin were log2-transformed prior to analysis, the estimated odds ratio corresponds to the odds ratio associated with a doubling of circulating adiponectin and leptin levels. BMI: body mass index, CI: confidence intervals.
