CEE, Cerebral edema exacerbation.
Categorical variables were presented as the number (percentage). Continuous variables consistent with a normal distribution were presented as mean ± standard deviation, otherwise the median and quartile are used. Chi-Square or Fisher Exact tests, as appropriate, were used to compare the differences in categorical variables, while the independent sample t-test was used to compare the differences in continuous variables.
