aData are presented as the median (25 %, 75 %).

bData are presented as means (SD).

There was no statistical difference between PGx and STD in IA. Five groups were compared by ANOVA. PGx, NAT2 genotype-guided treatment group; STD, conventional standard treatment group; RA-type, rapid acetylator genotype homozygous for NAT2*4; IA-type, intermediate acetylator genotypes heterozygous for NAT2*4; SA-type, slow acetylator genotypes without NAT2*4. NA, not applied
