Note: ICU: Intensive care unit; SD: standard deviation; ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; ALP: alkaline phosphatase; GGT: gamma glutamyltranspeptidase; TBIL: total bilirubin; DBIL: direct bilirubin.
The boldface represent that the p value of these variables was less than 0.05, indicating that there was a statistical difference between the two groups.
