  • Normally distributed data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and not normally distributed data were expressed as median and interquartile range (IQRs). The comparisons of data between groups were analyzed with the independent-sample t-test and the Mann-Whitney-U test according to the distribution of data.

  • * A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant.
