Median, 1st (Q1) and 3rd quartiles (Q3) are shown for continuous variables while counts and percentages were considered for categorical variables. Kruskal-Wallis test and Chi-squared test were used to test for differences for continuous and categorical variables, respectively. Bolded p-values highlight the statistically significant results.
