  1. SD: Standard Derivation, For independent samples, a t-test was used to compare hospitalization duration, while Pearson chi-square was used for categorical data. Data with inadequate samples for chi-square analyses were removed and labeled as N/A. The diabetes mellitus definition included type 1 and type 2 diabetes yet excluded treatment-related diabetes
  2. * These patients did not have dialysis-dependent or SRRT-required renal failure
