All data is presented as mean (±SD) unless indicated otherwise.
aData is presented as median (IQR).
Differences between groups were tested using two-tailed t-test for or Mann–Whitney-U test for normally and non-normally distributed data, respectively.
*Indicates significant difference between patients with and without malnutrition, p < 0.05.
†Indicates significant difference between patients without malnutrition and with moderate malnutrition, p < 0.05.
‡Indicates significant difference between patients without malnutrition and with severe malnutrition, p < 0.05.
#Indicates significant difference between patients with moderate and with severe malnutrition, p < 0.05.
