^aWorld Bank status [117] based on Gross National Income per capita per annum (in USD) as of 01 July, 2016: Low < $1025; Low middle = $1026–$4035; Upper middle = $4036–$12,475; High > $12,476. Country status extracted from World Bank Database [118]
^bA study reports two separate analyses within the same paper. In total there are 58 studies across 55 articles
^cStudy evaluated patients from multiple countries and therefore is not included in this table. Thus, there are 4,546,870 patients across 55 studies
