SD Standard deviation

*Chi2-test was performed to test for group differences. Exceptions are indicated. In case of a p value below 0.05, a z-test for column proportions was performed as post-hoc-test

VUnivariate ANOVA was performed to test for group differences. In case of a p value below 0.05, a Tukey-test was performed as post-hoc-test

FFisher’s exact test was performed to test for group differences

KKruskal–wallis-test was performed to test for group differences

a,b,cSame letters indicate that the post-hoc test for two study groups (i.e. their values) had a p value above 0.05

**Number of patients per group with available data. Available data < full group size indicates missing data
