Note: Descriptive statistics were expressed as median [min‐max] values in the case of numerical variables based on the respective distribution characteristics.
Bold values indicates significance.
Abbreviations: ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase.
aThe Mann–Whitney U test was used.
