* Variables are presented as mean and standard deviations and compared using a one-way analysis of variance; ^ values are presented as means but compared using Kruskal-Willi’s test. All other variables are presented with count and corresponding proportions and compared using the Chi-square test. Multiple comparison analysis with Bonferroni correction was performed when the probability value was < 0.05
