For each of these variables, percentages were calculated as number of patients with the positive variable to the number patients for whom this variable was described. Thus, the denominator was not the same for each because all variables were not reported in all patients (i.e. percentage calculations take into account missing data for each variable).
IQR: interquartile range; CT: computed tomography; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging.
