Only variables with N > 10 patients with the alteration were included. Variables with P-values ≤ 0.05 in the univariable analysis were included in the multivariable model. P-values were calculated using linear regression models (univariable and multivariable analyses).

a

Cut-off of 66 years old corresponds to the median (Table 1).

b

The t-statistic is the ratio of the B coefficient and the Standard Error; the higher the value, the greater is the importance of the variable in the model. 95% CI, 95% Confidence Interval.
