Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) in case of normal distribution and compared between two groups by Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test. If the count variable had a theoretical number <10, Fisher's exact probability test was used. Categorical variables are presented as counts (percentages) and compared by Chi-square test.
