The DPI measurements for each tertiles are as follows: 28.97 ± 1.53 in tertiles 1, 38.56 ± 3.01 in tertiles 2, and 51.43 ± 3.99 in tertiles 3
P-value less than 0.05 was considered significant
P-values were calculated using the one-way ANOVA test for comparisons of continuous variables AND Fisher's exact test p-values for comparisons of categorical variables
