  1. The variables in the “composite outcome” and “no composite outcome” groups were compared using the χ2 or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables and the Student’s t-test for continuous variables. Additionally, the univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the Cox proportional hazard model
