Data are median (interquartile range). Before and after denote before and after treatment, respectively.

P<0.01, versus before treatment for the same parameter (Wilcoxon signed-ranks test).
P<0.01, versus the respective no treatment (Fisher's exact test).
P<0.06 to <0.09, versus the ZNV group (Fisher's exact test).
P<0.01, versus the ZNV group (Fisher's exact test).
