Statistical analysis
We analyzed the corresponding continuous variables by the Mann-Whitney
U-test, the Χ2 test, Kaplan-Meier curve
analysis, the log-rank test, multivariate Cox regression and other
methods. Based on the unvaried analysis, variables with P< 0.05 were included in the multivariate logistic regression
analysis to determine the independent variables. All analyses were
performed using SPSS 23.0 statistical software (SPSS, IL, USA). P< 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
