  1. Measurement data were expressed as median (IQR), and data were compared by rank sum test; Categorical variables were expressed as number and percentage, proportion were compared by chi-squared
  2. Reference levels: WBC (4.4–11.9)109/L, CRP (0–10) mg/L, LDH (120–250) U/L, AST (13–35) U/L, ALT (7–40) U/L
  3. *AST was statistically significant between the two groups (P < 0.05)
