  1. Categorical variables are expressed as n(%) and continuous variables as median [Q1–Q3]. Comparisons between two clusters were performed with the chi-squared test for qualitative variables and Mann-Whitney test for quantitative variables, as appropriate. Values in bold indicate significance at P < 0.05.
