Values are mean ± SD or n (%), significant data are bold‐typed. Between‐group comparisons of clinical features, pattern of symptoms, and outcomes were performed using the unpaired Student’s t test whereas categorical variables were analyzed by the Fisher’s exact test.

Given the significant between‐group age difference (Supporting Information Table S2), age‐adjusted ORs.

were used to further explore these comparisons (an independent model for each variable/outcome).
