Medians and interquartile ranges (IQR) were calculated for continuous variables.
Frequencies and percentages were calculated for categorical variables; all numbers were rounded up with zero decimal place.
All p-values were rounded to three decimal places.
ABI ankle brachial index, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate.
αThe significance of the difference between PAD and non-PAD groups.
†Differences between groups were compared using Mann–Whitney test.
‡Differences between groups were compared using chi-square test.
