Pearson χ2 analysis was used for 2 × 2 correlations, and Spearman rank order analysis was used for 3 × 2 and 3 × 3 variable correlations. A p value <0.01 was considered significant. Spearman rank order correlation values (rs) are given in case of significance. Bold p values indicate a significant negative correlation and italic p values indicate a significant positive correlation
