However, instead of three categories of blood Cd, binary blood Cd (<LOD or ≥ LOD) was used to reduce the likelihood of having analysis groups with very low numbers. In an effort to be more parsimonious, other covariates were not included in these analyses....
Our specific objectives were: 1) to measure a large number of vascular transformation blood biomarkers from patients with Long-COVID, as compared to acutely ill COVID-19 patients and healthy control subjects; 2) to determine the relative importance of specific vascular transformation biomarkers to ...
The blood samples were collected from three veins from each participant by medically trained staff from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and participants were asked by the professional staff to fast at night in accordance with the standard protocol.

Plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, HDL-C, triglycerides, and apolipoproteins were measured using blood samples obtained after a minimum of an 8-h fast using CDC-standardized methods. Plasma total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, and triglycerides were measured enzymatically on a Cobas Fara II aut...
