Statistical analysis
The statistical package for the social science (SPSS- version25) is used
to analyze the data. Socio-demographic variables of participants were
assessed using descriptive statistics, including mean, frequency count
and percentage for binary and categorical variables. The mean and
standard deviation (S.D.) was used for normally distributed continuous
variables, while median and interquartile range (IQR) for not normally
distributed variables. The chi-square test was used in assessing the
presence of any influence study demographics and clinical presentation
on mortality and complications of patients. P value <0.05 is
considered statistically significant.
