*OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
†Univariate logistic regression model was used for unadjusted OR (95% CI) and unadjusted p values. If features were significantly different with p<0.05 in univariate logistic regression model, they were further analyzed with multiple logistic regression model for adjusted OR (95% CI) and adjusted p values.
