  1. Continuous variables were presented as median inter quartile range (IQR) and categorical variables were presented as numbers (%), except gender. Groups were compared using Kruskal-Wallis test (continuous variable) and Chi-square test (categorical variables)
  2. *Multiorgan dysfunction is defined by combinations of 2 or more complications (respiratory distress, renal failure, jaundice, hypotension, gastrointestinal bleeding)
