  1. Bolded values indicate statistical significance. As per the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project data agreement, numbers ranging from 1 to 10 were not reported
  2. *Due to an incidence of 0 in one of the groups, it was not possible to calculate the odds ratio and significance values
  3. **Length of stay and Total charges were found not to follow a normal distribution, thus an Independent-Samples Mann–Whitney U test was performed
