1. Student t-test and Wald F-test were used to evaluate the differences in the arithmetic mean between the groups. Rao–Scott chi-square test was used to compare the baseline characteristics across the categorical variables. 2 AM, arithmetic mean; 3 CI, confidence interval; 4 Except the number of participants, all values are weighted.
