Data presented as mean ± SD or n of patients (%).
No significant between-group differences (P > 0.05); Student’s t-test was used to compare mean values; comparisons of proportions between the two groups were performed using a two-sided χ2-test.
GPT, glutamic pyruvic transaminase; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention.
