Each categorical baseline clinical characteristic is reported as n (%) within the total population of 187 patients. 30-day mortality is calculated from the number that died from the remaining total population (N = 117). 1-year mortality is calculated from the number that died from the remaining total population since 30-day mortality (N = 111).
