Asterisks () indicate that the reorganization data is nonnormal distribution, and rank sum test is used to analyze the differences between groups. LOS: longer length of stay in hospital; WBC: white blood cell; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; RDW: red blood cell distribution width; MPV: mean platelet volume; PDW: platelet distribution width; CRP: C-reactive protein; PLT: platelet; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; ALP: alkaline phosphatase; Tbil: total bilirubin; Ibil: indirect bilirubin; Dbil: direct bilirubin; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase; FIB: fibrinogen; TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor-α.
