All values given as mean ± standard deviation (continuous measures) or number (percentage of cluster) (categorical measures). P-values derived from Kruskall-Wallis or Chi-Square tests (continuous and categorical, respectively) for omnibus tests and Mann-Whitney and Chi-Square tests for post-hoc comparisons. P-values < 0.05 are considered significant (bolded).
