a P value of KS test.
b Normally distributed variables.
c Mean (± SD) for normally distributed variables, median (25%–75% quartile) for variables not normally distributed, or n (%) for nominal variables.
d P values of the Student t test for normally distributed variables, the MWU test for variables not normally distributed, and the χ² test for paired variables. Significance is indicated as P < .05 and P < .01.
e P < 0.05.
