Continuous data are presented as mean ± SD, and categorical data are presented as numbers (percentage)

aMildly impaired kidney function was defined as eGFR 60–89 mL/min/1.73 m2

bModerately/severely impaired kidney function was defined as eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2

cThe P-value was analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables and chi-square test for categorical variables
