Data are presented as numbers (%) or median [25th–75th percentile] if not normally distributed

aAll biological quantitative variables were natural log transformed. OR corresponds to an increase of 1 SD

eGFR was calculated according to the CKD-EPI formula

GGT, γ-glutamyl transferase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; ULN, upper limit of normal
