*If the variables are continuous, we present the means±SD deviation. And if those are categorical, we present the number and the proportion.
†P values of continuous variables are calculated by Mann-Whitney U test and those of categorical variables are calculated by χ2 test if the minimum number is >5 and Fisher’s exact test if the minimum number is ≤5. We determine that if p values are <0.05, the values are statistically significant.
