BMI body mass index, HTG hypertriglyceridemia. *ESB Group versus Non-bleeding Group, †ESB Group versus PIB Group. Data are expressed as median (interquartile range) for continuous variables and frequencies (proportions) for categorical variables, as appropriate. Mann–Whitney U-test and Pearson test was used as the circumstances required.
