  1. For each measurement, the exact number of patient pairs included into the analysis varied due to missing values. Data are presented in count and percentage (in parentheses). The p values were calculated using McNemar's χ2 test. The A and C combinations denote whether a particular measurement was abnormally high/low (subscript yes) or not (subscript no) for an Adenovirus (A) and COVID-19 (C) patient pair
  2. APTT activated partial thromboplastin time, CI confidence interval, COVID-19 coronavirus disease 19, CRP C-reactive protein, OR odds ratio
