Linear regression between BB-DNA loads and plasma cytokine levels in old COVID-19 patients. A negative association between IFN-alpha and BB-DNA (Beta = -0.222, p = 0.019), after adjusting for age, sex, corticosteroid therapy and clinical frailty scale was found (A). No significant association were observed between BB-DNA and IL-6 (Beta = 0.001, p = 0.99), TNF-alpha (Beta = -0.045, p = 0.64). and IL-10 (Beta = -0.013, p = 0.87) (B, C, D). All data were log-transformed
