Data are acquired on admission and presented as means ± SDs or median (25th to 75th percentiles) for all quantitative traits. The unpaired Student’s t-test or Mann-Whitney test for continuous variables and the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables were used to compare the values of MetS and non-MetS patients
