Bold represent the overall number of patients in each subgroup.
Data are presented for continuous data with median and (interquartile range-IQR); categorical data as numbers and (percentage). Data of exclusive statistical significant data are reported in the table together with the P value level (significant if <0.05).
*
P value based on χ2 test or with Mann-Whitney U test and comparing free ruptured vs. contained ruptured patients.
