Variables which were found to be statistically significant in a univariable model were further examined in a multivariable model. Adjusted for sex, age, alcohol-related diseases, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, and human immunodeficiency virus infection.
