  1. Note: Model 1: a non-adjusted model. Model 2: adjusting for age, sex, smoking history, drinking history, BMI, number of chronic diseases, GCS score, blood urea nitrogen, SBP, DBP, breathing rate. High muscle mass: AST/ALT≤1.48 or Cr/CysC*100 > 64.64, low muscle mass: AST/ALT> 1.48 or Cr/CysC*100 ≤ 64.64
