Analysis results of the population characteristics are reported as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Comparison between the groups are calculated by Mann–Whitney testing or one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison post-test for continuous data and Fisher’s exact test for categorical data.
