Categorical variables are expressed as either a frequency (n) or percentage (%), while continuous variables are expressed as * the mean ± Standard Deviation (SD) or b the median (Q1; 25 Percentile ‒ Q3; 75 Percentile). Pearson's Chi-Square test or Fisher's exact test were used to compare categorical variables, while the student t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare continuous variables. p-values that are statistically significant are in bold. TPVB, Thoracic Paravertebral Block; SPSIPB, Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block; QoR-15, Quality of Recovery-15.
