  • Notes: Data are presented as n (%) unless otherwise indicated. Mortality data at 1 year were available for 70.5% (n=821) of patients, while mobility data were available for 52.5% (n=611) of patients. P values for variables reported as n (%) were determined with the Pearson chi-square test; P values for variables reported as median [IQR] were determined with the Mann-Whitney test.

  • IQR, interquartile range.
