  1. Continuous variables are expressed as median (25th, 75th percentiles). Categorical variables were displayed as numbers and percentages.
  2. INR international normalized ratio, RLR red blood cell distribution width to lymphocyte ratio, RPR red blood cell distribution width to platelet ratio, AAR aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase ratio.
  3. #P value for univariate analysis.
  4. *Adjusted for sex, age, smoking, drinking, allergic history, DM, hyperlipemia, history of liver disease, TBA, RDW, RPR, RLR, and AAR.
  5. **P value for multivariate analysis.
