Results are presented as mean SD or a percentage of the total. Continuous data were compared by means of Student’s
t test. Categorical variables were analyzed by Fisher’s exact test and the χ
2 test. Differences between the groups in creatinine concentration were analyzed by the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test. Non-paired variables were analyzed by the unpaired
t test. A
p-value 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Overall survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Independent variables were first analyzed with univariate analysis. Variables with
p < 0.10 in the univariate model were entered into a Cox proportional hazards regression model for multivariate analysis. Statistical significance was defined as
p < 0.05.
Data were analyzed using
SPSS 24.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) and
Statistica 13.0 for Windows by StatSoft.
