Variables shown are numbers (percentages) or expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. Differences in categorical variables between groups were analyzed using the Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test. Continuous variables were compared by Student’s t-test.
Numbers in bold indicate a significant difference (p < 0.05).
