  1. Data are presented as medians with interquartile ranges (25th - 75th percentile) for continuous variables and were analysed using Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test. Categorical variables are presented as absolute numbers and percentages and were analysed using Chi-square test. a Predictors (risk factors) assessed for association with mortality in multivariable regression analysis
