The Cramer’s V test was used to measure the association between categorical variables and status. The value of Cramer’s V indicates how strongly two categorical variables are associated, giving a value between 0 and +1. For numeric variables, the Mann–Whitney test was used to compare median values between survivors and deceased cases. Eta was used to measure the association of numeric variables with status, giving a value between 0 and 1. In both Cramer’s V and Eta, values close to 1 indicating a high degree of association. The missing values were ignored in calculation of percentages. The median (Q1, Q3) and frequency (%) were used for describing the numeric and categorical variables, respectively. The baseline values of WBC, lymph, NEUT, PLT, HB, MCV, BUN, CR, AST, ALT, LDH, CRP, and UREA were summarized.
