The continuous variables were presented as mean (95% confidence interval). P value derived from the Mann-Whitney test or the Student’s -test. S-BUNmax: highest blood urea nitrogen; S-Creamax: highest serum creatinine concentration; B-Leukmax: highest blood leukocyte count; B-Thrommin: lowest blood thrombocyte count; S-ALBmin: lowest serum albumin concentration (all measured during hospital care). Numbers in bold indicate an almost significant P value.
