Bonferroni was used to correct the p value when comparing two pairs with differences in the Chi-square test among the three groups, and the alphabet was used to indicate the comparison results between the groups. The same letter indicates that the difference is not statistically significant, and different letters indicate that the difference is statistically significant, a>b. Significant at p< 0.05
