a
The counting data are presented as the incidence rate (%, n/N), and the comparison was performed using chi-squared analysis.
b
The measurement data are presented as (mean ± SD), and comparison among multiple groups was performed using the Kruskal–Wallis H test.
A pairwise comparison was performed using the Mann–Whitney U test and Bonferroni’s correction.
