N numbers of patients; % percent; p probability value calculated by chi-square test of independence; Cp Pearson’s Contingency Coefficient C, Cp ≥ 0, values distant from 0 reflect some relationship; values approaching 1 correspond to a perfect association; ASR Adjusted standardized residuals, values > 1.96 reflect a greater number, and those below < − 1.96 correspond to a smaller number than a random distribution; OR odds ratio (95% confidence interval).
