Clinical characteristics across the severity and progression groups. Values that were interpolated during preprocessing were excluded from the analysis. (A) Box plots and results from statistical tests between the CONS groups for each clinical feature in the KNIH cohort. (B) Correlations derived from feature values and CovSF, averaged by each severity group during progression, in KNIH and KNUH. We calculated the correlation between the CovSF score and feature values across three severity levels (Mi,M,S) and (S,M,Mi), using their average values from each time point within each level to form a three-dimensional vector. The upper figure represents Mi-M-S subgroup in DP groups, while the lower figure represents S-M-Mi subgroup (RP). (C) The correlation plot between feature values and CovSF scores across all time points in DP and RP groups of KNIH.
