Frequency (%) was used for describing the categorical variables. The Cramer’s V, chi-square, and Fisher exact tests were used to measure the association between categorical variables and status. The first-time measured values of all laboratory findings are summarized in categories. CR was divided into normal/abnormal categories based on age groups.
