  1. Data are presented as mean (SD) for continuous variable or n (%) for categorical variables. *Differences between groups were compared using the Chi-square test for categorical variables, the Student’s t-test for normally distributed continuous variables, and the Wilcoxon rank sum test for non-normally distributed continuous variables.
  2. Abbreviation: eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
