The data are presented in median (range), n (%). Normally distributed measurement data were presented as Mean ± standard deviation (SD). Non‐normally distributed measurement data were presented in median (interquartile range [IQR]). SI conversion factors: To convert lactate dehydrogenase level to μkat/L, multiply by 0.0167. The P‐values that compared the adverse prognosis group and non‐adverse prognosis group were obtained from the chi‐square test, t test or Mann‐Whitney test.
