Values are presented as median (interquartile range) for continuous variables and counts (percentage) for categorical variables. For blood counts, n = 151 (86 CH+ and 65 CH−). For BUN and creatinine, n = 155 (88 CH+ and 67 CH−). For glucose, n = 158 (90 CH+ and 68 CH−). For HbA1c, n = 83 (53 CH+ and 30 CH−). For ESR, n = 31 (19 CH+ and 12 CH−). For CRP, n = 35 (21 CH+ and 14 CH−). For CKD and diabetes mellitus diagnoses, n = 181 (99 CH+ and 82 CH−). Bold indicates significance P < 0.05.
BUN, blood urea nitrogen; CRP, C-reactive protein; ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
