  1. After 1:1 propensity score matching, continuous variables are reported as mean (standard deviation) and categorical variables as number (percentage). Comparisons between groups were conducted with the Wilcoxon rank-sum test for continuous variables and chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests for categorical variables. APACHE = Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; SOFA = Sequential Organ Failure Assessment. p values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. No correction for multiple comparisons was applied. Asterisk denotes p < 0.001.
