*Categorical variables among survival and non-survival subgroups were compared using the Chi-square/Fisher’s exact test. Continuous variable was compared using independent sample t test. All significance tests were two-tailed, with a p value less than 0.05 indicating statistical significance, and such p values are shown as star in superscript
