↵* The variables with normal distribution were compared using the Student t test.
↵† The variables with asymmetrical distribution were compared using the Mann–Whitney U test.
↵‡ The proportions between the two groups were compared using χ2 test and expressed by the RR with the respective 95% CI. MODS, multiple organ dysfunction system.
