↵a For the categoric variables, the data are presented as n (%) and are compared between groups via χ2 or Fisher exact tests. For the continuous variables, the age is reported as a mean (SD) and is compared between groups via an independent t test, and the other continuous variables are reported as a median (IQR) and are compared between groups via a Mann-Whitney U test. A P value of <.05 was considered to be indicative of a statistically significant result and is reported in bold.
