AUC, Area Under Curve. Not normally distributed variables are displayed as median (1st, 3rd quartile). Categorical variables = p1: between “Baseline” and “Post” timepoints, p2: between “Post” and “Follow-up” timepoints, p3: between “Baseline” and “Follow-up” timepoints. Outcomes were considered to be statistically significant at p < 0.05. p values for p1, p2, and p3 are corrected for the inflation of Type-I error with the Bonferroni rule.
