aBecause there was a frequency data of 0 in the cell, Fisher’s exact test was used. bIntolerable, degree of need for painkillers; cModerate, inability to recognize a face 6 feet away; dinability to recognize his own outstretched fingers. OR, odds ratio; Ref, reference. Bold values mean statistically significant differences (p < 0.05).
