Data were presented as medians with quartiles (Q1, Q3). AST: aspartate aminotransferase; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; multivariate (B): coefficients of variables in multivariate analysis; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval. The male gender was analyzed by Pearson’s chi-square test, and others were analyzed by the Mann–Whitney U test.
